The invention provides a device and process for recellularizing essentially acellular or devitalized tissue grafts, including for example essentially acellular or devitalized vascular tissue grafts, derived from human or animal sources, or as constructed using any number of tissue engineering methodologies. The process includes repopulating and reendothelializing an essentially acellular or devitalized tissue graft. The device is useful for producing a repopulated tissue graft from an essentially acellular or devitalized tissue, as well as for producing an essentially acellular or devitalized tissue graft. |
