Abstract:
The guidance of endothelial cell organization into a capillary network has been a long-standing challenge in tissue engineering. Some research efforts have been made to develop methods to promote capillary networks inside engineered tissue constructs. Capillary and vascular networks that would mimic blood microvessel function can be used to subsequently facilitate oxygen and nutrient transfer as well as waste removal. Vascularization of engineering tissue construct is one of the most favorable strategies to overpass nutrient and oxygen supply limitation, which is often the major hurdle in deve

Abstract:
Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have come a long way in recent decades, but the lack of functioning vasculature is still a major obstacle preventing the development of thicker, physiologically relevant tissue constructs. A large part of this obstacle lies in the development of the vessels on a microscale—the microvasculature—that are crucial for oxygen and nutrient delivery. In this review, we present the state of the art in the field of microvascular tissue engineering and demonstrate the challenges for future research in various sections of the field. Finally, we illustrate the

Abstract:
A three-dimensional tissue construct was created using adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells and evaluated as a microvascular protection treatment in a myocardial infarction (MI) model. This study evaluated coronary blood flow (BF) and global left ventricular function after MI with and without the SVF construct. Fischer-344 rats were separated into four groups: sham operation (sham), MI, MI Vicryl patch (no cells), and MI SVF construct (MI SVF). SVF cells were labeled with green fluorescent protein (GFP). Immediately postinfarct, constructs were implanted onto the epicardium at

Abstract:
The details of the mechanical factors that modulate angiogenesis remain poorly understood. Previous in vitro studies of angiogenesis using microvessel fragments cultured within collagen constructs demonstrated that neovessel alignment can be induced via mechanical constraint of the boundaries (i.e., boundary conditions). The objective of this study was to investigate the role of mechanical boundary conditions in the regulation of angiogenic alignment and growth in an in vitro model of angiogenesis. Angiogenic microvessels within three-dimensional constructs were subjected to different boundary

Abstract:
The production of a functional cardiac tissue to be transplanted in the injured area of the infarcted myocardium represents a challenge for regenerative medicine. Most cell-based grafts are unviable because of inadequate perfusion; therefore, prevascularization might be a suitable approach for myocardial tissue engineering. To this aim, cells with a differentiation potential towards vascular and cardiac muscle phenotypes have been cocultured in 2D or 3D appropriate scaffolds. In addition to these basic approaches, more sophisticated strategies have been followed employing mixed-cell sheets, mi

Abstract:
Angiogenesis is one of the most recent physiological functions attributed to products of cytochrome P-450 (CYP450) enymes. To test this at a molecular level in human cells, we used a cloned cDNA for the human endothelial enzyme CYP450 2C9 (CYP2C9) to study growth as well as differentiation of human microvascular endothelial cells from the lung (HMVEC-L). Using adenoviral vectors overexpressing mRNA for CYP2C9, we show that the presence of CYP2C9 doubles thymidine incorporation and stimulates proliferation of primary cultures of endothelial cells compared with Ad5-GFP (control) in 24 h.

Abstract:
Expression of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in endothelial cells is modulated by shear stress affecting the organization of the cytoskeleton. The molecular connection between alterations of actin and CTGF expression was investigated in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and a microvascular endothelial cell line. Overexpression of nonpolymerizable monomeric actin R62D interfered with stress fiber formation in HUVEC and concomitantly reduced immunoreactive CTGF. In microvascular endothelial cells, flow-dependent upregulation of CTGF was prevented by this actin mutant. In con

This dissertation presents the application of MEMS-based approaches for the construction of engineered tissue substitutes. MEMS technology can offer the physical scale, resolution, and organization necessary for mimicking native tissue architecture. Micromachined nozzles and templates were explored for the fabrication of acellular, biomimetic collagenous fibrous scaffolds, microvascular tissue structures, and the combination of these structures with cell-based therapeutics. The influence of the microstructure of the tissue constructs on their macro-scale characteristics was investigated.

A majority of all fractures in current US armed conflicts are open fractures, in which a soft tissue injury is sustained along with the bone fracture. Even with gold standard treatment, in which muscle flaps are used to cover bony defects, patients often do not regain normal function of their extremity, highlighting the necessity for tissue engineering strategies for this complex clinical problem. Due to a substantial amount of tissue damage and debridement treatment in composite injuries, a large volume of cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins that are necessary for tissue healing are

One of the challenges in engineering complex artificial tissue constructs, with defined matrix and cellular architecture, is the formation of a viable microcirculation within them, that inosculates with the host vasculature and matures into a functional microvascular bed. Current methods based on complex cell patterning in 2-D or 3-D matrix systems rely on ‘printing’ cells or patterns of cells on/ in a substrate, direct culture on patterned substrates, or endothelialization of decellularized vessels.

Abstract:
The ability to fabricate networks of micro-channels that obey the biological properties of bifurcating structures found in nature suggests that it is possible to construct artificial vasculatures or bronchial structures. These devices could aid in the desirable objective of eliminating many forms of animal testing. In addition, the ability to precisely control hydraulic conductance could allow designers to create specific concentration gradients that would allow biologists to correlate the behavior of cells.

Abstract:
Vascular impedance in human pulmonary circulation is analyzed by the fluid dynamic approach. A model representing the entire system of pulmonary circulation is constructed based on experimentally measured morphometric and elasticity data of the vessels. The pulmonary arteries and veins are considered as elastic tubes. Their impedance follows Womersley’s theory and electric analogue. The “sheet-flow” theory is employed to describe the flow in capillaries and thus a microvascular impedance matrix is derived. The input impedance at the main pulmonary artery is calculated under both zone 3 and zon
