Organoid vascularization using bioengineering strategies overcomes limitations in organoid models. This review explores methods to integrate vascular networks, enhancing organoid applications in disease modeling and therapeutics.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Stem Cell Biology
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Organoids are 3D stem cell-derived structures valuable for research.
  • Lack of vascularization limits organoid function and translational potential.
  • Vascular networks are crucial for mimicking in vivo organ complexity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review bioengineering strategies for organoid vascularization.
  • To examine biological principles guiding vascularization approaches.
  • To envision future advancements in organoid model development.

Main Methods:

  • Co-culturing organoids with vascular cells or vascular organoids.
  • Co-differentiation of stem cells into organ and vascular lineages.
  • Organoid-on-a-chip technology and 3D bioprinting for perfusable vasculature.
