Turkish scientists make a contribution to the medical world … Artificial veins were developed at İTÜ

Technical University of Istanbul (İTÜ) Medical Instructor İpek Yalçın Eniş has developed a stratified biodegradable artificial vein.

According to a statement made by the University, Eniş, Faculty of Textile Technologies and Design. Dr.

Thanks to the artificial vein produced, work that could be a cure for patients who need to change vessels bypass has been signed.

Today's technology is artificial ship-making facility and whether the various difficulties in the exchange of small diameter points of the artificial blood vessels ENISA pointed out that it took important steps in the design due to 8 years of work vessels.

in Turkey, which prints the scientific world in the name of doing the first time research on this topic Enis, histology complex real ship

The artificial vein successfully produced passed preclinical tests. Some experimental studies have been carried out at the Liberec Technical University. Dr. David Lukas, CSc. co-counsel. The vessels produced were tested on small animal models and positive results were obtained from the first results.

In addition, preliminary studies on dynamic cell culture were performed with a bioreactor design that will simulate blood flow as part of the TÜBİTAK 1001 project.

Dr. İpek Yalçın Eniş said that the goal was to produce a skeleton for the vein that would take his own body in long walks, and that when he started working on the artificial vein, a limited number of studies were done in the international literature. In recent years, research has become the focus of attention for national and international researchers. "
