Humacyte Research Shows ATEV Self-Repair Capability
Humacyte announced the presentation of research providing evidence of self-repair of the acellular tissue engineered vessel, ATEV, after cannulation for dialysis access at the Vascular Access Society of the Americas, VASA, 2026 Vascular Access for Dialysis Symposium in Salt Lake City, Utah. The presentation, titled "Self-repair of Acellular Tissue Engineered Vessels, ATEV, after Cannulation for Dialysis Access," was delivered by Maisha Clancy, MA, Process Development Engineer at Humacyte. Research demonstrated that despite repeated cannulations for dialysis access, the ATEV was observed to maintain long-term structural integrity self-repair with smooth muscle cell repopulation in explants up to 5.5 years post-implantation.
