Abstract:
The quantity or function deficiency of blood vessel grafts hinders many diseases from proper treatment,so tissue engineered blood vessels have gained high attentions.As a crucial component of the tissue engineered blood vessels,how the seed cells can obtain the physiological functions as normal endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells has been focused on.Stem cells are multi-potential and are regarded as proper seed cells.However,it is still a question that which stem cells among a variety of stem cells is the most suitable seed cells for tissue engineered blood vessels.In this review,we make a comparison among kinds of stem cells such as haemopoietic stem cells,bone mesenchymal stem cells and adipose-derived stem cells.We also state their characteristics respectively,and intent to acquaint with their function comprehensively.Thus,this review may provide some references for further studies.
