Electrospinning for use in tissue engineering

Patent Granted Medical[edit] Artificial organ components Tissue engineering.[38] Living cells can be co-deposited with electrospun material.[39] Endogenous Tissue Growth (ETG) is a therapeutic category in which surgeons use synthetic biodegradable implants designed to allow the body to repair itself by spontaneously growing natural, healthy tissue from the inside. The principle of Endogenous Tissue Growth is to use of the host response to trigger a remodeling process and by ensuring the material degrades in time, the host response is resolved in time as well. When the material is fully degraded, the architecture is remodeled into a well developing structure. It is characterized by the key features of a native cardiovascular structure containing collagen, elastin, myofibroblasts, endothelial cells and blood vessels.
