3D-printed blood vessels bring artificial organs closer to reality

Summary

Nutrition label

84% Informative

Harvard scientists create new method to 3D print vascular networks that consist of interconnected blood vessels possessing a distinct “shell” of smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells surrounding a hollow “core” through which fluid can flow.

This vascular architecture closely mimics that of naturally occurring blood vessels and represents progress toward being able to manufacture implantable human organs.

This work was supported by the Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellowship Program sponsored by the Basic Research Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering through the Office of Naval Research Grant N00014-21-1-2958 and the National Science Foundation through CELL-MET ERC (# EEC-1647837 ).
