Biomaterial-based Strategies to Build Vascularized Modular Tissue Engineered Constructs

Survival of engineered tissues in vivo requires the presence of an internal vascular network and immediate connection to the host vasculature. Modular tissue engineering approaches the vascularization ‘design’ requirement through fabrication of submillimeter-sized collagen microtissues (‘modules’) w...
