"The significance of microvessel organization in 3D scaffolds has largely been ignored," biomedical engineer Feng Zhao explained. "Microvessels are not the same as cells; people have done a lot of work looking at the alignment of cells but this work on microvessels is still new. Understanding the mechanisms behind microvessel alignment in biomaterials will help us and other biomedical engineers to create better, more refined implants and devices."
