Claims17
A method of making an engineered tissue comprising a structural component embedded therein, comprising:
- combining matrix-producing cells with a hydrogel to produce a cell-seeded hydrogel;
- forming the cell-seeded hydrogel on, in, around, and/or within a structural component.
An engineered tissue comprising a structural component embedded therein.
A composition comprising a structural component embedded within an engineered tissue,
- wherein the structural component comprises a first end and a second end, wherein the first end comprises a valve stent and the second end comprises a tubular structure;
- wherein the tubular structure of the structural component is embedded in the engineered tissue.
