In this paper, we have constructed actively perfusable multiple hepatic lobule-like vascular networks in a 3D cellular structure by using magnetic tweezers. Without well-organized channel networks, cells in a large 3D tissue cannot receive nutrients and oxygen from the channel, and therefore, the ce…
In this paper, we have fabricated a multilayered hepatic lobule-like vascular network in a 3D tissue using a heptapole magnetic tweezer. The tissue consists of cell-laden hydrogels with 3D channel networks. To fabricate multilayered channel system, magnetic hydrogel fibers were manipulated by a magn…
Fabrication of vascular network is an important research for transporting required nutrients and oxygen to the artificial tissues. In this paper, we propose a novel method to construct a hepatic lobule-like vascular network in a 3D cellular structure. The network is simply constructed by three types…
