Vascular smooth muscle cells remodel collagen matrices by long-distance action and anisotropic interaction
2012
Medical and Biological Engineering and Computing
We studied the remodeling of collagen matrices by individual vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs), clusters and monolayers. ...
This process involved both 'hauling up' of matrix by the cells and local matrix compaction at a distance from the cells, up to 200 lm. ...

Mimicking the physical cues of the ECM in angiogenic biomaterials
2019
Regenerative Biomaterials
Here, we will review biomaterials that seek to imitate the physical cues that are natively provided by the ECM to encourage the formation of microvasculature in engineered constructs and ischemic tissue ...
A functional microvascular system is imperative to build and maintain healthy tissue. Impaired microvasculature results in ischemia, thereby limiting the tissue's intrinsic regeneration capacity. ...
