Revisiting the tension-free paradigm: Axially prestretched elastomeric nanofibrillar grafts restore artery-like axial biomechanics in a preclinical model
{{output}}
Healthy arteries function under substantial axial prestretch (AP), the ratio of in vivo to unloaded ex vivo length. Loss of AP promotes tortuosity and disturbed hemodynamics associated with vascular pathology, yet artery-like AP has not been incorporated in va... ...
