Area of Science:

  • Tissue Engineering
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Biomaterials

Background:

  • Creating vascularised cellular environments in vitro is a significant challenge in tissue engineering.
  • This limitation hinders the development of functional stem cell-derived microtissues for regenerative medicine and research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an efficient, rapid, and inexpensive workflow for manufacturing vasculature on chip (VoC) systems.
  • To create a scalable and customizable platform for growing vascularised and perfusable microtissues in vitro.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized 3D printing for rapid prototyping of VoC systems.
  • Integrated a refined organotypic culture system (OVAA) with tissue-specific cells to grow patent capillaries.
  • Designed a pocket-size flow driver to establish physiological perfusive flow with minimal medium usage.

Main Results:

  • Successfully created vascularised microtissues using the VoC-OVAA platform.
  • Maintained perfusion at physiological flow rates for over two weeks, observing flow-dependent vascular remodeling.
  • Demonstrated a scalable and customizable system for in vitro microtissue vascularization.

Conclusions:

  • The developed platform offers a novel solution for creating vascularised and perfusable microtissues in vitro.
  • This technology facilitates the fast prototyping and validation of biomimetic in vitro systems, including multi-tissue constructs.
  • Enables advancements in regenerative medicine and in vitro disease modeling.
