For the development of vascular tissue engineering, the impact of endothelial cells (ECs) on smooth muscle cell (SMC) spreading, proliferation, and differentiation is explored in the current study using a coculture model. In this coculture model, SMCs were encapsulated in a biomimetic hydrogel based...
