Abstract

Vascular scaffolds produced by bio-fabrication methods can provide ideal conditions for attachment and proliferation of ECs (endothelial cells). But these grafts might not allow migration of cells into the scaffold. Therefore, scaffolds, which resembles ECMs (extracellular matrix) should produce by changing scaffold size and shape. The diameter of nanofibers can be controlled by using electrospinning method to enhance vascular scaffold functionality and produce scaffolds that mimic the nanostructure of natural ECMs. In this study, electrospinning collectors with different diameters were designed to control scaffold diameters. Vascular scaffolds produced with these collectors are proposed to mimic the nanostructure of natural ECMs.
