Fibrovascular Membrane (Fvm)

Fibrovascular membranes (FVMs) are composed of cells embedded within a highly organized collagenous microstructure. They provide structural support, protection and insulation for various organs and tissues in the body. FVMs have several important functions, such as being essential for the formation of blood vessels, for the regulation of inflammation and local immunity, as well as for maintenance of tissue homeostasis. They also play a crucial role in wound healing, tissue remodeling and scar formation. FVMs’ unique composition and capacity to remodel in response to diversified stimuli makes them an ideal material for many medical treatments, including tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
