Thanks to the technology of creating artificial blood vessels using 3D printers and liquid metals, we are one step closer to the realization of a transplanted laboratory culture organs.
One of the tasks when developing organs in the lab is to reproduce the fine structure of blood vessels that penetrate the tissue. In the body, cells are supported by extracellular matrix (ECM). Out -of -cell matrix (ECM) is a protein gel -like network such as collagen that functions as a natural scaffold and gives an organization and organs.
