Nanomanufacturing Sparks Vascular Microtubes for Engineered Tissue
Breaking the vascular barrier in artificial tissue Engineered human tissue has long held promise as a bridge between cell culture and human trials. A central challenge has been providing a reliable blood supply within three-dimensional tissues, where cells far from surfaces can quickly become oxygen and nutrient starved. A new study from Binghamton University’s Thomas…

Nanomanufacturing Boosts Vascular Systems in Artificial Tissue
A New Frontier in Vascularized Engineered Tissue Engineered human tissue has long promised to bridge the gap between cell cultures and human physiology, serving as a vital intermediary step before clinical trials. A key challenge has been supplying these three-dimensional constructs with a reliable blood supply. Without functional vascular networks, growing tissues face necrosis in…

Nanomanufacturing Breakthrough Enhances Vascular Systems in Artificial Tissue
New Nanomanufacturing Technique Improves Vascular Networks in Engineered Tissue Engineered human tissue has long offered a vital bridge between lab discoveries and human clinical trials. A key hurdle, however, has been providing a functional vascular system to sustain cells within three-dimensional constructs. Without adequate blood circulation, large-scale tissue models develop necrotic regions where cells starve…

Nanotubes Boost Blood Flow in Bioengineered Tissues
Unlocking perfusion in engineered tissues When researchers test new therapies, they increasingly rely on engineered human tissues that mimic how real bodies respond. These tissue models offer a crucial intermediate step between cell cultures and human trials. A recurring challenge, however, is ensuring adequate blood flow and nutrient delivery within thicker, three‑dimensional constructs. Without sufficient…
