A bioactive compliant vascular graft modulates macrophage polarization and maintains patency with robust vascular remodeling

Alexander Stahl et al.

Summary: Conventional synthetic vascular grafts have high failure rates due to mismatched mechanical properties with native vessels and poor regenerative potential. In this study, we developed a new bioactive synthetic vascular graft with tailored pore sizes to promote pro-regenerative macrophage populations and improve vascular regeneration. The grafts showed similar mechanical properties to native blood vessels and maintained patency and vascular regeneration in animal models.

Effect of Magnesium Ion on the Radical-Scavenging Rate of Pterostilbene in an Aprotic Medium: Mechanistic Insight into the Antioxidative Reaction of Pterostilbene

Ikuo Nakanishi et al.

Summary: Pterostilbene (PTS) has been found to have a higher reaction rate constant for scavenging galvinoxyl radical (GO·) than resveratrol (RSV). The presence of Mg(ClO4)2 does not affect the reaction rate of PTS, indicating that a hydrogen-atom transfer reaction may be the rate-determining step between PTS and GO·.

Potential of Biodegradable Synthetic Polymers for Use in Small-diameter Vascular Engineering

Olesia Osipova et al.

Summary: In patients with chronic atherosclerotic artery occlusions, bypass or replacement surgery is necessary. Synthetic polytetrafluoroethylene prostheses are commonly used when autogenous veins are not available. However, these prostheses have poor results in small-diameter arteries and xenogeneic vessels and biopolymer-based prostheses also tend to have mechanical strength issues. Developing vascular prostheses for small-diameter arteries is crucial to overcome the risk of graft thrombosis. Various biodegradable synthetic polymers, such as polyhydroxybutyrate, polyglycolic acid, polycaprolactone, polyurethane and their copolymers, are being studied for this purpose, with polyurethanes showing the most promise due to their biodegradation rate, strength, and elasticity.

ROS-Scavenging Electroactive Polyphosphazene-Based Core-Shell Nanofibers for Bone Regeneration

Yiqian Huang et al.

Summary: Bone defects are often accompanied by inflammation caused by excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), which hinders bone tissue regeneration. Biodegradable polyorganophosphazenes (POPPs) have been found to effectively scavenge ROS and show better results in promoting bone regeneration compared to traditional polymers. Core-shell structured PLGA/PATGP nanofibers were also found to have better modulation effects on cellular behavior, making them a promising candidate scaffold for bone tissue engineering.

Review: Tissue Engineering of Small-Diameter Vascular Grafts and Their In Vivo Evaluation in Large Animals and Humans

Shu Fang et al.

Summary: The current research on small-diameter tissue-engineered vascular grafts (SD-TEVGs) focuses on improving design to address issues like mechanical failure, thrombogenicity, and intimal hyperplasia that have limited success so far. Synthetic polymer-based SD-TEVGs have shown limited success in large-animal models, while natural polymer and cell-secreted ECM-based SD-TEVGs are still facing challenges in terms of strength and thrombogenicity. Further exploration of allogeneic native ECM-based SD-TEVGs, in vitro-developed hybrid SD-TEVGs with allogeneic banked human cells or isolated autologous stem cells, and in-body tissue architecture (IBTA)-based SD-TEVGs appear promising for the future due to their dimension, mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and availability.
