New 3D-printed blood vessels bring artificial organs closer to reality New printing method creates branching vessels in heart tissue that replicate the structure of human vasculature in vitro.

Co-SWIFT prints branching networks of double-layered vessels that are infused with smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells into living human cardiac tissue.

The achievement is published in Advanced Materials .

The team even 3D-printed a model of the branching vasculature of a real patient's left coronary artery into OBBs, demonstrating its potential for personalized medicine.

In future work, Lewis ' team plans to generate self-assembled networks of capillaries and integrate them with their blood vessel networks to more fully replicate the structure of human blood vessels.
