Zusammenfassung: | Disclosed herein is a method of manufacturing a vascular graft comprising disposing cells of a first cell type on a core having a textured surface, wherein the textured surface comprises a plurality of spaced features, the spaced features being arranged in a plurality of groupings, the groupings of spaced features being arranged with respect to one another so as to define a tortuous path when viewed in a first direction; growing the cells to form a primary cell-seeded construct, wherein the primary cell-seeded construct has a textured inner surface that is a negative image of the textured surface of the core; contacting the primary cell-seeded construct with a second cell type to form a secondary cell-seeded construct; and removing the core to produce the vascular graft. |
