Advancing in vitro vascular wall modelling using digital light processing to study hyperglycemia-driven cell changes
In conclusion, GelMA-coated DLP-printed AUP2PEG scaffolds facilitate the growth of EC and MSC. Furthermore, exposing EC cultured on the developed scaffolds to hyperglycemic culture conditions negatively affects the viability of EC, comparable to what is observed in two-dimensional culture conditions.
