Human tissue-engineered blood vessels (TEBVs) that exhibit vasoactivity can be used to test drug toxicity, modulate pro-inflammatory cytokines, and model disease states in vitro. We developed a novel device to fabricate arteriole-scale human endothelialized TEBVs in situ with smaller volumes and higher throughput than previously reported. Both primary and induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cells can be used. Four collagen TEBVs with 600μm inner diameter and 2.9 mm outer diameter are fabricated by pipetting a solution of collagen and medial cells into a three-layer acrylic mold. After gelation, the TEBVs are released from the mold and dehydrated. After suturing the TEBVs in place and changing the m... More
