A Novel Strategy for Creating Tissue-Engineered Biomimetic Blood Vessels Using 3D Bioprinting Technology

In this work, a novel strategy was developed to fabricate prevascularized cell-layer blood vessels in thick tissues and small-diameter blood vessel substitutes using three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technology. These thick vascularized tissues were comprised of cells, a decellularized extracellula...
