Abstract

Vascularization is a challenge but an absolute necessity for biomanufacturing of functional organs and tissues by 3D bioprinting and several other methods.. It is critical for the prolonged  survival and functional maturation of the engineered tissues which may lead to functioning organs such as liver and kidney. Ongoing vigorous research has pursued the development of 3D in vitro tissue models to replicate the key aspects of human physiology by incorporating relevant cell populations and adequate  environmental cues. In this context, one important aspect is to leverage three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting in the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine which has rapidly accelerated progress toward the development of living tissue or constructs biomedical devices.  In particular, vascularization is critical for the prolonged survival and functional maturation of the engineered tissues, which has remained one of the major challenges in the establishment of physiologically relevant 3D in vitro models. To this end, 3D bioprinting can efficiently generate solid and reproducible vascularized tissue models with high architectural and compositional similarity to the native tissues, leading to improve the structural maturation and tissue-specific functionality. Reviewed are, multiple bioprinting strategies which have been developed to vascularize tissues and organs by spatially controlled patterning of vascular precursors or generating readily perfusable vascular structures.  Advanced 3D bioprinting strategies for vascularized tissue model development present the key elements for rebuilding functional vasculature in 3D-bioprinted tissue and organ  models. Indeed there are still challenges and future of 3D bioprinting-based vascularized tissues but with a thorough understanding of vascularizationwe believe that 3D Bioprinting remains a promising technology for functioning vascularized organs and tissues.
