As classical approaches based on maximizing biomaterial inertness have failed to overcome the thrombosis and hyperplasia that drive device failure, novel solutions inspired by the function of the native endothelium are necessary. Biomaterial devices designed for rapid in vitro or in situ endothelialization, and devices designed to mimic endothelial function are all active areas of study which will be addressed within this dissertation. Endothelial colony forming cells are an incompletely understood blood outgrowth product with tremendous potential for tissue engineering applications. This dissertation includes the novel characterization of the sensitivity of these cells to flow-independent morphological modulations, which will add to the understanding of their suitability for use in tissue engineered grafts. 000007731 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000007731 650__ $$aEndothelial Cells$$035222 000007731 650__ $$aEndothelial Progenitor Cells$$040757 000007731 650__ $$aTissue Engineering$$033051 000007731 650__ $$aCardiovascular Diseases$$016152 000007731 650__ $$aThrombosis$$027034 000007731 650__ $$aBiocompatible Materials$$015550 000007731 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000007731 692__ $$aDepartment of Biomedical Engineering$$041397 000007731 7001_ $$aHagen, Matthew W. 000007731 8564_ $$99c4def4c-e718-48a8-abf4-5e813d17fb44$$s6018854$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/7731/files/Hagen.Matt.2019.pdf 000007731 905__ $$a/rest/prod/wm/11/7p/68/wm117p68c 000007731 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:7731$$pstudent-work 000007731 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
