Biofabricating atherosclerotic plaques: In vitro engineering of a three-dimensional human fibroatheroma model.

abstract：:The present in vitro study investigates the cellular interaction of primary human osteoblasts with human and bovine solvent dehydrated cancellous bone (SDCB) discs. These are bio-implants from solvent dehydrated, gamma-irradiated preserved human and bovine cancellous bone, pre-treated to remove all cells, genetic comp...
