Polyurethane phase morphology induces endothelial cell organization

A group of researchers from the Biomaterials and Regenerative Therapeutics Laboratory in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at University at Buffalo has shown that nanostructured phases of segmental polyurethanes can guide endothelial cells into networks which are critical for initiating vascular structures in regenerative tissue engineering applications. This study has provided an interesting avenue to guide cells with the nanoscale domains of synthetic matrix which has not been perceived as a matrix cue for endothelial cell organization.
