Abstract
We describe the successful use of human arteries in a murine graft model, allowing the study of repopulation. Decellularized grafts are repopulated by cells expressing stem cell markers and subsequently express smooth muscle and endothelial cell markers. This model has the potential to be used for further development of laboratory-grown vascular grafts.
