Microvascularization in 3D Human Engineered Tissue and Organoids

Abstract

The microvasculature, a complex network of small blood vessels, connects systemic circulation with local tissues, facilitating the nutrient and oxygen exchange that is critical for homeostasis and organ function. Engineering these structures is paramount for advancing tissue regeneration, disease modeling, and drug testing. However, replicating the intricate architecture of native vascular systems—characterized by diverse vessel diameters, cellular constituents, and dynamic perfusion capabilities—presents significant challenges. This complexity is compounded by the need to precisely integrate biomechanical, biochemical, and cellular cues. Recent breakthroughs in microfabrication, organoids, bioprinting, organ-on-a-chip platforms, and in vivo vascularization techniques have propelled the field toward faithfully replicating vascular complexity. These innovations not only enhance our understanding of vascular biology but also enable the generation of functional, perfusable tissue constructs. Here, we explore state-of-the-art technologies and strategies in microvascular engineering, emphasizing key advancements and addressing the remaining challenges to developing fully functional vascularized tissues.
