Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adhm201400167-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A tissue‐engineered blood vessel</bold> (TEBV) modified with CS/β‐CD nanoparticles is constructed, effectively controling the release of adenosine, and this type of TEBV can keep open for over 6 months. This study also demonstrates for the first time that adenosine promotes endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) mobilization and homing via energy conversion, achieving rapid endothelialization of TEBV. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh2cn2zpb9" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
