- Cornell Chronicle: Researchers mimic vascular system to nourish engineered tissue for transplants: Future: grow synthetically engineered tissues such as muscle or cartilage needed for transplants. Engineers describe in the journal Nature Materials a microvascular system they have developed that can nourish growing tissues. The researchers have engineered tiny channels within a water-based gel that mimic a vascular system at the cellular scale and can supply oxygen, essential nutrients and growth factors to feed individual cells. The so-called gel scaffold can hold tens of millions of living cells per milliliter in a 3-D arrangement, such as in the shape of a knee meniscus, to create a template for tissue to form.In theory, the system could accommodate many kinds of tissue. "A significant impediment to building engineered tissues is that you can't feed the core," "Simply embedding this mimic of a microvascular system allows you to maintain the core of the tissue during culture." Gel scaffolds, he said, "are the culture flasks of the future."
