Abstract:
Creating a functional valve equivalent to the appropriate tissue structure and mechanical properties of the heart is a key issue in the area of heart valve tissue engineering. The design and production of three-dimensional scaffolds with both microscopically and macroscopically optimised material properties to regulate tissue development and ultimately valve functioning is believed to be critical. Electrospinning offers many ways of developing such scaffolds. In this chapter we aim to provide an overview of the various requirements for these scaffolds as well as presenting ways ...
