Angiogenesis, the growth of microvessels, plays an important role in the development and normal function of tissues. On the one hand, microvascular degeneration caused by disease or injury can lead to tissue ischemia, fibrosis, and organ failure. On the other hand, uncontrolled angiogenesis can lead to tumors. The current microvascular engineering strategy is to precisely manufacture microchannels through microfluidic technology or three-dimensional printing technology, and implant endothelial cells into the microchannels to form blood vessels. However, there are few studies on the ability of engineered microvascular reconstruction, which is of great significance for transplantation in vivo. In this study, the microvascular network was constructed by growing acellular matrix on ice template scaffolds and self-assembled primary microvessels, thus providing a model platform for large-scale microvascular engineering, which is of great significance for tissue and organ engineering.
