Stem cell-mediated angiogenesis in tissue engineering constructs.

Stem cell-mediated angiogenesis in tissue engineering constructs. Curr Stem Cell Res Ther. 2018 Nov 05;: Authors: Kiaie N, Aghdam RM, Tafti SHA, Gorabi AM Abstract Angiogenesis has always been a concern in the field of tissue engineering. Poor vascularization of engineered constructs is a problem for clinical success of these structures. Among the various methods employed to induce angiogenesis, stem cells provide a promising tool for future. The present review aims to present the application of stem cells in the induction of angiogenesis. Additionally, it summarizes recent advancements in stem cell-mediated angiogenesis of different tissue engineering constructs. PMID: 30394215 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
