Enhancing angiogenesis in collagen matrices by covalent incorporation of VEGF
2006
Since the survival of ingrowing cells in biomaterials for regenerative processes largely depends on the supply of nutrients and oxygen, angiogenesis plays an important role in the development of new materials for tissue engineering. In this study we investigated the possibility of enhancing the angiogenic properties of collagen matrices by covalent incorporation of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). In a previous paper we already reported the use of homo- and heterobifunctional cross-linking agents for modifying collagen matrices [1].
