3D and 4D bioprinting of the heart are exciting notions in the modern era. However,
myocardial bioprinting has proven to be challenging. This review outlines the methods …

The field of tissue engineering has turned towards biomimicry to solve the problem of tissue
oxygenation and nutrient/waste exchange through the development of vasculature …

Tissue engineering (TE) has provided promising perspectives to overcome the limited
efficiency of the conventional treatment options or organ transplantation. Considerable …

Background: Most of the current treatment options for large-scale tissue defects represent a
serious burden for the patients, are often not satisfying, and can be associated with …

Vascularisation is key to developing large transplantable tissue constructs capable of
providing therapeutic benefits. The vascularised tissue engineering chamber originates from …

Background: The placement of arteriovenous loops can enable microvascular anastomoses
of free flaps when recipient vessels are scarce. In animal models, elevated fluid shear stress …

Donor organ shortage remains a clear problem for many end-stage organ patients around
the world. The number of available donor organs pales in comparison with the number of …

Aims We investigated the reproducibility of creating a vascularized tissue flap in an in vivo
tissue engineering chamber by incubating a vascular pedicle imbedded in a collagen …

Background The survival of engineered cardiac muscle 'grafts' to the epicardium is limited by
vascularization post‐transplantation in rat models. In this article, we describe the …
