Primary author-hosted paper: labs.utsouthwestern.edu/sites/default/files/2022-11/23_Niklason_JVS.pdf . Laura E. Niklason and others, Journal of Vascular Surgery 33, 628–638 (2001); DOI doi.org/10.1067/mva.2001.111747 . Printed p. 628, abstract and introduction: culture time, scaffold type and engineered-vessel morphology/function; polymer remnants after eight weeks and locally altered smooth-muscle cell phenotype. The full byline is printed on p. 628.

Additional apparatus locator: Compliance measurements, printed pp. 631–632, describes bench testing of static/dynamic vessel compliance and rupture strength, with Video Motion Analyzer tracking of pulsating vessel edges and paired pressure/diameter readings; Figure 9 on p. 636 displays representative applied pressure and diameter/compliance measurements. labs.utsouthwestern.edu/sites/default/files/2022-11/23_Niklason_JVS.pdf
