23 Jul ENGINEERED LUMENIZED VASCULAR NETWORKS AND SUPPORT MATRIX
Abstract
Disclosed herein are capillary fabrication devices comprising living cells within a support medium. Culture of the cells produces viable lumenized capillary networks with natural or pre-determined geometries and ECM and basement membrane associated with the capillary networks. The capillary networks and the ECM and basement membrane detachable from the capillary networks are useful for tissue engineering applications.
