Micro Topography Patterning of General Elastomer Surfaces for the Endothelialization of Ventricular Assist Devices
Synthetic substrate with a monolayer of endothelial cells (EC) could form the basis of a 100% haemocompatible blood pump. However, cells could experience supra-physiological wall shear stress (WSS) in artificial blood pumps such as ... Read Project Details
Conductive Skin
An increasing number of heart failure (HF) patients receive left ventricular-assisted devices (LVAD) to repair physiological flow in the cardiac tissue. Currently, the high amount of power required ... Read Project Details
