New Platforms Generate Functional Vascular Networks for 3D Bioprinting

Rapid generation of functional blood vessels from human stem cells

Blood vessels are essential to nearly all tissues, delivering nutrients and oxygen, regulating hemostasis, and modulating inflammation.

Blood vessel organoids quickly minimise damage to injured tissue

Blood vessels grown in the lab in just five days could quickly prevent the tissue damage that can occur after an accident

Algorithm streamlines vascular system design for 3D printed hearts

There are more than 100,000 people on organ transplant lists in the U.S., some of whom will wait years to receive one—and some may not survive the wait. Even with a good match, there is a chance that a person's body will reject the organ. To shorten waiting periods and reduce the possibility of rejection, researchers in regenerative medicine are developing methods to use a patient's own cells to fabricate personalized hearts, kidneys, livers, an…

Vascular Organoids Rapidly Repair Injured Tissue

Human vascular organoids created from stem cells Melero Martin Lab at Boston Children’s Hospital A new method using small, lab-grown vascular structures has effectively restored blood flow to injured tissue in mice, significantly reducing necrosis. This technique shows promise for mitigating damage caused by injuries or blood clots in the future. Previously, researchers developed vascular [...] The post Vascular Organoids Rapidly Repair Injured …

Designing blood vessels for 3D printed hearts

Stanford researchers have developed a faster, more precise way to model and print vascular systems, solving a critical challenge in fabricating transplantable organs from patients’ own cells.
