Optimization Of Electrospinning Procedure For Generating The Scaffold For Production Of Artificial Blood Vessel

Every human tissue requires constant supply of oxygen and other essential nutrients. A network of blood vessels is crucial for the functioning of any part of the human organism. Dysfunction and/or lack of blood vessels is the cause of many serious dysfunctions and diseases. Therefore, we have tried to optimize the already known electrospinning methodology for creating a scaffold that we will use to form a new blood vessel. The scaffolds we used were made up of nanofibers of mixtures of polycaprolactone (PCL) and polyethylene glycol (PEG).
