  • Method for creating perfusable microvessel systems
    Patent number: 7622298
    Abstract: Microvessel networks are produced in vitro from tissue-engineered parent vessels sprouting into a supporting matrix, as for example gels, of extracellular matrix proteins. The microvessel systems are integrated into devices that allow for controlled perfusion with fluids. The vessels may include cells from one cell type, for example, endothelial cells, or from combinations of two or more cell types.
