Abstract:
The recently described artificial connective matrix made of elastin solubilized peptides, type I+III collagens and connective proteins is shown to have structural and biological properties very close to the natural arterial subendothelium: the capacity to promote endothelial cell cultures maintaining their phenotype expression and its non-thrombogenicity. This new bioactive composite material could be used to replace arteries.
