Arterial reconstruction with human bioengineered acellular blood vessels in patients with peripheral arterial disease
Abstract Objective: Vascular conduit is essential for arterial reconstruction for a number of conditions, including trauma and atherosclerotic occlusive disease. We have developed a tissue-engineered human acellular vessel (HAV) that can be manufactured, stored on site at hospitals, and be immediately available for arterial vascular reconstruction. Although the HAV is acellular when implanted, ...

Introduction to Lipogenesis, Lipid Anabolism and Catabolism
Sources of Fat Fat, also known as triglyceride, is made by condensing one molecule of glycerol and three fatty acids. The source of fatty acids in the body: one is the body's own synthesis, and the other is the food supply. Some unsaturated fatty acids cannot be synthesized by the body and depend on food supply, called essential fatty acids. There are mainly two kinds, one is the ω-3 series ...
