Blood vessels (IMAGE)
Caption
A synthetic hydrogel in which endothelial cells (pink cell nuclei) form new blood vessels that grow from a parent blood vessel (upright on the left). These form cavities connected to the parent vessel. Here, the vessels were perfused with a liquid containing fluorescent beads (yellow). The beads flow into the new vessels at a natural speed.
