Abstract: A method of manufacturing a multilayer electronic component includes cutting a stack, in which internal electrode patterns and ceramic green sheets are alternately stacked in a stacking direction, to obtain unit chips and attaching a portion of a ceramic green sheet for a side margin portion to the unit chips in a direction, different from the stacking direction. The attaching includes attaching the portion of the ceramic green sheet to the unit chips by compression between a first elastic body on which the ceramic green sheet is disposed and the unit chips. The first elastic body includes a first elastic layer having and a second elastic layer having an elastic modulus different from the first elastic layer, and disposed between the unit chips and the first elastic layer. An elastic modulus of the first elastic body is greater than 50 MPa and less than or equal to 1000 MPa.

Abstract: It has been established that optimizing cell seeding onto tissue engineering vascular grafts (TEVG) is associated with reduced inflammatory responses and reduced post-operative stenosis of TEVG. Cell seeding increased TEVG patency in a dose dependent manner, and TEVG patency improved when more cells were seeded, however duration of incubation time showed minimal effect on TEVG patency. Methods of engineering patient specific TEVG including optimal numbers of cells to maintain graft patency and reduce post-operative stenosis are provided. Closed, single-use customizable systems for seeding TEVG are also provided. Preferably the systems are custom-designed based on morphology of the patient specific graft, to enhance the efficacy of cell seeding.
