The development of new biomaterials has opened up new avenues of drug delivery, bio-monitoring and other implantable medical devices 1 ...

Tissue contraction is a critically important process in homeostasis, developmental morphogenesis and pathological processes such as wound closure, tumour progression, and fibrotic disease...

Myofibroblasts have been implicated in scar tissue formation around biomaterials. When biomaterials are implanted as part of a tissue engineered construct, as a sensor, as a prosthetic or even as a drug delivery device, scar formation fibrosis around the biomaterial often interferes with the intended function...

Vascular tissue engineering has made significant advancement over the past decades toward the definition of optimal scaffolds, cell sources, and biomechanical culture parameters for obtaining engineered tissue ET products that resemble native tissues...

Natural polymers such as chitosan Ch and pectin P are widely used for the production of scaffolds due to their biocompatibility and biodegradability1...
