Tissue regeneration requires the simultaneous growth of vasculature to facilitate the diffusional mass transfer of nutrients,oxygen,growth factors,biochemical signaling factors,carbon dioxide,and metabolic waste from the surroundings to cells and vice versa[1,2].In particular,the vascular network should reach within 100–200 μm of the tissue to avoid ischemic conditions and cell death[3].Blood vessels with different diameters(～ 4–300μm)spread in a complicated fashion(i.e.,fractal shapes)into tissue to exchange nutrients,gas,and metabolites to a huge cell population[4].Capillaries in the vascular network play a vital role in the mass transfer ,tissue regeneration with scaffolds requires the incorporation of an interconnected capillary network with vessels located every 100–200μm in all vascularization is a complex process that develops through vasculogenesis and angiogenesis in vivo[4–6].In vasculogenesis, endothelial progenitor cells(EPCs)migrate to an ischemic site,proliferate,and differentiate to form capillary vessels,while angiogenesis occurs when new blood vessels sprout from existing ones according to a gradient of angiogenic factors[5,7].The blood vessels formed by either vasculogenesis or angiogenesis are eventually remodeled and mature as per the demands of specific tissues through the upregulation of various growth into account the in vivo vasculature formation mechanism,a number of 3D fabrication approaches have evolved over past decades to mimic the native vascular and indirect bioprinting approaches have proven promising for the fabrication of large 3D tissue constructs with intricate vascular use of coaxial needles in extrusion-based(EB)systems revolutionized these biofabrication techniques and resulted in the ability to print lumen-incorporated biofabrication is convenient when scaffolding biopolymers demonstrate poor printability and manipulation this regard,sacrificial biopolymers are a smart choice of scaffolding material in vascular network addition to EB biofabrication,several potential approaches including micro-pattern fabrication and assembly,laser-based fabrication,nano-scale fabrication,and natural matrix recellularization have evolved to generate vascular 2D micropatterned substrates or micro tissue modules results in the formation of complex interconnected vascular fabrication allows both 2D and 3D fabrication in a layer-by-layer fashion in the presence of a photo mask,donor substrate,photo sensitive polymer,or photo ,an advanced fabrication technique reported in numerous studies[8–11],supports the fabrication of extracellular matrix(ECM)-like nano-scale filaments that enhance the interaction with endothelial cells(ECs).Seeding ECs into decellularized tissue matrix promotes vascularization,with the preparation process affecting the quality of the native matrix.A review of recent progress with respect to tissue vascularization with available fabrication techniques is necessary to guide future articles have focused on the synergistic effect of cells,biopolymers,angiogenic factors,and fabrication approaches in terms of tissue ,review articles that focus on recent progress in terms of 3D vasculature formation techniques are article provides a brief overview of the 3D biofabrication of vascular networks with EB,laser,electrospinning,stacking of micropattern or modules,and cell sheet techniques;discusses the effect of prevascularization on the vascular network formed by the various fabrication techniques;summarizes the challenges,advantages,and shortcomings of different fabrication approaches;and proposes potential future research prototyping vascular networksMacro-scale tissue constructs require well connected vascular networks to ensure the viability of the large cell population embedded or seeded in the tissue-/organ-specific cells require time to form functional tissues and,during this period,require nutrients,gas,and biomolecules to maintain metabolism,proliferation,and differentiation and enable ,researchers have attempted to form perfusable capillary networks within macro-engineered grafts seeded with different types of ,some researchers have used rapid prototyping(RP)or additive manufacturing techniques to form complex capillary networks with hydrogel-based,fugitive,and sacrificial (e.g.3D bioplotting,and inkjet printing)and laser-based()techniques in particular have achieved outstanding results with respect to printing vascular networks with intricate architecture. bioprintingBioprinting of cells ensures a higher cell density in the scaffold compared to post fabrication cell number of studies conclude that higher cell densities in the scaffold promote tissue generation by secreting numerous ,researchers have emphasized 3D bioprinting to incorporate a huge cell population in the scaffold in a controlled and well-distributed bioprinting mixtures of cells and hydrogels,extrusion-based RP approaches have been explored in many particular,inkjet printers and 3D bioplotters are commonly used for scaffold and vascular network printing due to some attractive inkjet printing,bioink drops are dispensed layer-by-layer,while a bioplotting system extrudes continuous filaments to fabricate a predefined structure based on computer-generated(CAD)digital piezoelectric-based inkjet bioprinters can print a cell-crosslinking ion mixture at high resolution and speed on hydrogel general,hydrogels with rapid gelation properties are used in inkjet systems to handle the high printing ,inkjet printers allow the deposition of multiple cell types in a controlled and organized fashion to mimic the distribution of multiple cells in native inkjet printing studies used alginate or its composites as a bioink and calcium chloride as a crosslinker[12–16],with vascular networks shown to grow after in vitro or in vivo one study,three bioinks containing canine smooth muscle cells,human amniotic fluid-derived stem cells,and bovine aortic endothelial cells,respectively,were used to print an alginate-collagen scaffold layer-by-layer using a thermal inkjet printer;vascularized,mature,and functional tissues grew when the scaffolds were implanted in vivo[17].Likewise,bioink composed of human microvascular endothelial cells(HMVECs)and thrombin solution and dispensed on fibrinogen using an inkjet printer resulted in the alignment and proliferation of the HMVECs and the formation of a capillary-like tubular structure inside the channels[18].Although inkjet printers are economical and have several attractive features,shortcomings including nozzle clogging,cavitation bubbles,selective ink viscosity,and cell damage during dispensing limit their use for the fabrication of vascular networks[19]. bioprintingSeveral studies have explored both indirect and direct EB techniques in fabricating intricate vascular network to date.In indirect printing,tissue-specific,cell-incorporated hydrogels are used to encapsulate a prefabricated sacrificial vascular network,followed by the removal of the sacrificial ink using an appropriate are then seeded around the capillary channels using an injection/microfluidic perfusion of the capillary network with media or blood forms a monolayer of ECs around the capillaries within a couple of days that facilitates diffusional mass transfer and eventual remodeling into blood sacrificial templates have been explored to avoid the use of cytotoxic organic solvents or processing conditions to eliminate the sacrificial filaments from engineered constructs[20](Fig.1).In one study,carbohydrate glass filaments were dispensed at 110°C using a 3D printer to form a patterned 3D network,and then the network was encapsulated in an agarose polymer loaded with primary rat hepatocytes and fibroblast soluble sacrificial f i laments were removed by the cell culture media,the vascular lumen then seeded with human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs),and the vascular network perfused with blood in vascularized construct supported the metabolic function of primary rat hepatocytes,which maintained higher albumin secretion and urea synthesis than in gels without channels[21].However,complexities related to high temperature dispensing,random distribution of multiple cell types,and hygroscopic behavior of carbohydrate filaments limit vascularization number of studies have investigated the efficacy of sacrificial networks with respect to generating than random incorporation of multiple types of tissue-or organ-specific cells in the matrix,capillary vessels and various types of cells were printed separately side-by-side to mimic the native tissue or organ.In one study,a 3D bioprinting technique was used to co-print fibroblast-laden GelMA,fugitive ink,and human neonatal dermal fibroblast-loaded GelMA strands layer vascular network fabricated in this way was encapsulated into GelMA,and then the fugitive ink(Pluronic?F127)removed by liquifying at 4°C.When the HUVECs were injected in the fugitive ink-removed lumen followed by gentle rocking,greater than 95%viability was achieved with a confluent EC layer identified 48h after seeding[22].Fig.1.(A)Carbohydrate glass lattice as the sacrificial structure for the creation of vascular architecture,(B)a single carbohydrate glass fiber encapsulated in a fibrin gel,(C)cross-section image of unlabeled HUVEC and 10T1/2 co-cultures(not expressing enhanced greenfluorescent protein(EGFP))encapsulated in the interstitial space of fibrin gel with perfusable channels,and(D)cross-section of cell-incorporated biomaterials(scale bars=200μm)(reproduced with permission from[21]).Extrusion-based systems featuring coaxial or shell/core nozzles have been used to directly print hollow fibers or filaments with a microfluidic channel to form a vascular network[23,24].In particular,Fig.2 shows that the flow of ionic crosslinker()is maintained in the core side of a coaxial nozzle while the flow of hydrogel is maintained in the shell side[25].The flow rheology of the hydrogel precursor and crosslinker as well as the hydrogel percentage significantly affects the geometry of the core diameter,wall thickness,and microfluidic 3D microfluidic networks can be encapsulated into hydrogels containing multiple cell types.In general,microfluidic channels fabricated with a coaxial nozzle-extrusion system are seeded with ECs,and then perfused with culture media or blood to promote capillary blood vessel of shell/core size significantly affects the ultimate strength,compressive strength,and Young's modulus of the hollow fibers[26].In addition to seeding,ECs can also be encapsulated in the shell of the hollow channel during fabrication to generate high cell densities[27].In some studies,tissue spheroids composed of tissue-specific cells were dispensed simultaneously in the space between two successive hollow filaments using multiple robotic arms[28].Several studies report the efficacy of microfluidic channels fabricated with a coaxial nozzle for promoting human bone marrow stromal cells(hBMSCs)were seeded on the inner walls of hollow alginatepoly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) fibers extruded from a coaxial nozzle,they showed excellent attachment and spreading after 14 days of culture[26].Similarly,cartilage progenitor cell(CPC)-encapsulated sodium alginate has been extruded from a coaxial nozzle to form the shell of a microfluidic ,CPC viability decreased due to the dispensing pressure,coaxial nozzle geometry,and alginate concentration,but improved significantly over 7 days of incubation[27].To date,a wide range of natural,synthetic,and hybrid biomaterials have been used in bioprinting;however,none are free from biomaterials show uncontrolled degradation,immunogenicity,inflammation,and cytotoxicity in in vivo or in vitro some cases,biomaterials inhibit ECM secretion,distribution,and organization as well as cell-cell address these issues,researchers have investigated self-assemble approaches in which scaffold-free multicellular spheroids or filaments are extruded using a such systems,sacrificial spheroids and multicellular tissue spheroids are concurrently printed layer-by-layer as per the CAD incubation in a bioreactor,the multicellular spheroids fuse together to form single-or double-layered microvascular fusion process is time-consuming and causes non-uniform tubular surfaces,and the fabrication of long vascular tubes is a slow process and demonstrates poor spatial tackle these issues,RP technology has been used to bioprint cylindrical multicellular building blocks using collagen gel as a ,vascular cells eventually integrate with the collagen rod in the fusion process,which causes complexities in the removal of the collagen gel from the vascular cell-fused hollow inert agarose rods as a molding template solved the issues related to the collagen gel.When human umbilical vein smooth muscle cells and dermal fibroblasts were dispensed as a multicellular cylinder according to the CAD design,double-layered vascular walls formed 3 days after fusion[30]. printing of scaffolds fabricated by an extrusion-based technique:(A)crosslinker diffusion while the biomaterial is extruding through the outer tube,(B)crosslinking of

bioprinting,particularly laser-guided direct writing(LGDW)and matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation direct writing(MAPLE DW),have been explored in different studies for 2D and 3D cell patterning[31].This printing technique has some attractive features,including no nozzle clogging and the ability to print cells at high resolution and accuracy with high-viscosity to laser-induced forward transfer(LIFT),the MAPLE DW technique uses a lower powered pulsed laser to deposit multiple cell types.In this technique,laser pulse-induced bubbles create shock waves that compel cells to move toward the collector number of studies have used laser-based bioprinting to print patterned structures with vascular cells and observed capillary vessel example,a study using the LIFT-based cell printing technique to print HUVECs and human mesenchymal stem cells(hMSCs)in a defined pattern on a cardiac patch reported increased capillary vessel density and functional improvement of infarcted hearts[32].Researchers have also used LGDW to print a 3D vascular network by stacking cell aggregates layer-by-layer,with a hydrogel layer placed on top of each deposited cell 3D patterned HUVEC on Matrigel?formed elongated and tube-like structures in vitro[33].However,shortcomings such as long fabrication time,laser-induced cell damage,and low scalability limit the application of the techniques in tissue ,a maskless photolithography,has been investigated to generate complex 3D vascular patterns with photosensitive materials[34].In particular,digital light projection(DLP)and laser-based stereolithography have been used to print intricate architectures based on designs developed from CAD software,computer tomographic,and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)scanned information[35].In a DLP system,a digital mirror device containing several million tiny mirrors regulates the movement of the mirrors via a digital rotation of mirrors causes a two-dimensional pixel-pattern that is projected on the photo-curable biomaterial to obtain intricate 3D a study,a DLP chip was used to generate active and reflective dynamic photomasks as per the CAD the cross-sectional images of the 3D microstructure were reproduced from photomasks and the images were projected onto the methacrylate(GelMA)solution using an ultraviolet(UV)light the 3D intricate pattern was seeded with HUVECs,the HUVECs formed a confluent monolayer and maintained their phenotype for 4 days following dynamic seeding[36].Similarly,another study reported that HUVECs formed cord-like structures after 4 days of culture in a scaffold fabricated with a DLP system[37].While this technique can print 3D structures quickly with high resolution,shortcomings such as high costs,less detailed printing for large constructs,and cytotoxicity limit the application of the DLP stereolithography(LS)was developed to eliminate the requirement of a photomask and assembly of multiple 2D planar surfaces to form 3D vascular LS is suitable for printing large and detailed vascular constructs,the lower printing speed of LS compared to the DLP technique needs to be improved[38].In this technique,a computer-controlled ultraviolet laser beam generates a pattern on a photosensitive material as per the CAD design[39],as shown in Fig.3.A number of researchers have printed complicated structures with LS and reported outstanding results with respect to forming seeding of ECs in the LS-printed scaffold showed improved viability,whereas incorporated cells in the photosensitive hydrogel demonstrated low viability due to laser(short wavelength)-induced cell avoid short wavelengths,researchers have employed two-or multi-photon laser systems to print intricate 3D structures with micro-or nano-scale precision[40].Although the two-and multi-photon laser systems maintain a less harsh environment than LS during printing,use of a photoinitiator in the gelation process significantly decreases cell viability[38].To address this issue,a multi-photon printing technique was used to fabricate 3D multi-scale patterns in soft silk protein hydrogels without using a photo-initiator;the 3D features supported the growth and penetration of human mesenchymal stem cells deep into the gel[41].Several studies have investigated the efficacy of vascular patterns/networks printed with the LS technique with respect to promoting vascular one study,polytetrahydrofuran diacrylate resin-based macro-scale vascular tubes and micro-scale bifurcating tubes were printed using LS and two‐photon polymerization(2PP)techniques, vascular vessels printed using this method could be seeded with ECs to form vasculature,because the grafts demonstrated good cytocompatibility and mechanical properties similar to native capillaries[42].Similarly,when granulosa cells were seeded on an epoxy-based acellular microcapillary vascular tree printed with the 2PP technique,improved cell growth and sustained cell-cell junctions were identified in vitro[43].These studies demonstrate that EC monolayer formation is possible in an LS-printed vascular pattern. scaffolds/microfluidicsNative tissue contains macro-and micro-blood vessels that supply nutrients,oxygen,and other bio-molecules to large cell number of studies have investigated micropatterned substrates to create capillary bed-like structures that mimic native tissue as shown in factors,such as ECM stiffness,interstitial and shear flow have significant effects on capillary vessel formation in micropatterned particular,interstitial flow regulates capillary morphogenesis[45],shear stress enhances angiogenesis[46],and material stiffness regulates the architecture of the capillary network in the developing one study,bovine pulmonary microvascular ECs seeded in rigid collagen gels formed thick and deep vascular networks with large capillary lumens,while those seeded in a flexible hydrogel formed thin and intense networks with tiny lumen[47].Researchers have used plasma etching[48],laser ablation[49],soft lithography[50],and replica molding[51]to generate microfluidic patterns on biocompatible have also used a direct write laser technique to prepare microchannels with various widths and depths following Murray's law to closely mimic the capillary architecture seen in micropatterns facilitate the uniform flow of fluid and achieve low resistance similar to that of physiological vascular systems[52]. of scaffolds using a computer-controlled ultraviolet laser beam:(A)projection microstereolithography(SEM image at right is an octet-truss unit cell),(B–E)octet-truss structures with different patterns and biomaterials,and(F–I)SEM images of the struts of structures in(B–E)(reproduced with permission from[44]).To date,several methods have been developed to seed vascular and tissue-specific cells on patterned one study,ECs and mural cells( muscle cells(SMCs)and pericytes)were seeded in a single-layered substrate following a microfluidic approach,and then cultured for a certain period of time to promote stable capillary formation[54].Several studies report that microfluidics regulate the temporal and spatial distribution of cells,media,enzymes,and biomolecules within the micropattern[55].Further,microfluidics facilitates the formation of patterned cell distribution and shear-induced endothelialization in a coculture system[56].Especially in a microfluidic system,circulating biomolecules and the applied gradient of shear stress into the microchannel regulate the morphology,reorganization,alignment,differentiation,and remodeling of ECs that are significant for capillary formation[57].To regulate shear stress,researchers have applied computational microfluidics and different fluid flow patterns(,pulsatile,and turbulent)that result in the formation of endothelial monolayers around the microchannels[58,59].Micropatterned single planar layer substrates prepared in this way are compiled to form macro 3D tissue the preparation and assembly of multiple layers is a time-consuming process,researchers have searched for alternative ways to fabricate 3D macro-sized substrates with microfluidic of advanced technologies,such as direct write assembly(robotic deposition,fused deposition,and two-photon polymerization)[60],sacrificial material-based extrusion printing[21],modular assembly[61],omnidirectional printing()[62],and electrostatic discharge printing(Figs.5G and H)[63]have demonstrated unprecedented success in generating complex 3D vascular complex patterns are often embedded in hydrogel-containing tissue-specific success of microfluidics networks in terms of vasculature formation largely depends on the mechanical and biological properties of the wide range of synthetic polymers,including poly (methylmethacrylate), poly(dimethyl siloxane),silicon,polycarbonate,polyvinyl chloride,polystyrene,poly(lactic-co-glycolic)acid(PLGA),and poly(glycerol sebacate)have been used in microfluidics[64].However,EC monolayers grown into micropatterned synthetic substrates show poor barrier function in terms of transporting biomolecules,oxygen,and patterned synthetic materials show poor biodegradation,barrier function,and biocompatibility and provoke cytotoxicity and inflammatory responses in vivo,researchers have explored a wide range of hydrogels for printing micropatterns for vasculature number of studies have used silk fibroin,Matrigel,type I collagen,and fibrin to form endothelial tubes in 3D scaffolds[65].By nature,these hydrogels are biodegradable and biocompatible and can provide a 3D milieu for vascular network addition to the biomaterials,several parameters have been identified as potential factors in generating microvessels with example,the combined effect of microfluidics and vasculogenesis from cell seeding grew perfusable and functional microvessels in a 3D fibrin gel system in vitro and showed strong barrier function and long-term stability[66].Similarly,the collective effects of growth factors and fluid shear stress have also been investigated,with gradients of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and angiopoietin 1(ANG-1)forming a stable and c onnected 3D capillary network within a type-I collagen matrix embedded with microfluidic channels[67].The success of such a strategy led researchers to further explore the synergistic effect of multiple parameters to promote and regulate capillary formation in a 3D microfluidics-hydrogel of HUVECs and human lung fibroblasts(HLFs)in fibrin gels/microfluidics systems containing VEGF and sphingosine-1-phosphate(S1P)promoted the formation of a stable capillary network with smaller lumen diameters[68].In addition,stem cell-incorporated gels/microfluidic systems have been example,a co-culture of HUVECs and MSCs in a collagen gel/microfluidic system reduced capillary formation,but stabilized the newly formed capillaries[69]. assembly of a capillary bed-like structure mimicking native tissue:(A)fabrication of a micro-scale structure using a soft

cm),and(H)branched microvascular networks embedded in a molded PLA block incorporated with a hierarchy of microchannel diameters(scale bar=2 cm)(reproduced with permission from[62,63]).The success of a macro-scale tissue engineered construct depends on several factors,including the availability of a mass diffusion network within 100–200μm from the cell population,uniform distribution of multiple cell types with reasonable density,and nonthrombogenic phenotype of ECs upon integration with the host vasculature[4,70].To address this issue,researchers have taken a bottom-up approach to fabricate macro-scale scaffolds,and found that self-assembled micro-tissues or-modules were a possible solution for fabricating large engineered constructs,as shown in such micro-modules are loaded into large tissue constructs,the micro-dimensions of these modules facilitate the diffusion of nutrients,oxygen,and essential biomolecules to the cell population embedded in the gels[71].To date,several methods have been investigated to generate microtissues molding and UV crosslinking,directed self-assembly,and gravity-enforced self-assembly approaches have frequently been used to build micro-scale modules[72–74].During preparation,tissue-specific cells are often encapsulated in the micro-modules,while a confluent layer of HUVECs is provided to coat their outer surface[75].In some studies,the outer surface was further coated with protein molecules before EC seeding to improve the micro-collagen modules implanted in mice formed more stable,mature,and perfused capillaries 14 days postoperatively compared to collagen modules without the fibronectin coating[76].Further,EC-coated microgels embedded with stem or progenitor cells showed impressive results with respect to stabilizing the newly formed capillary blood vessels relative to EC-coated modules;for example,implanted EC-coated collagen micro-modules containing BMSCs in the omental pouch in rats formed less leaky and more dense and mature capillaries[77].A number of studies have used random packing,directed,or sequential assembly to accumulate cell-loaded micro-modules with different sizes and shapes to prepare macro-scale vascularized tissue constructs[78,79].In random packing,EC-coated modules are perfused with blood or culture medium that causes interconnected channel formation in the interstitial spaces of the directional assembly,shape-controlled microgels spontaneously form offset,linear,branched,or random aggregates depending on surfactant concentration,aspect ratio,agitation rate,and time[79].The sequential assembly approach was investigated in an effort to control the organization of the microgels having internal microchannels[80].Such microgels were prepared with photolithography and then assembled into a tubular construct where an interconnected and bifurcated structure resembling native vasculature was particular,SMCs and HUVECs were incorporated in the outer and inner layer of the microgel to form a biomimetic 3D including the thickness and diameter of the microgels,swiping speed of the needle,concentration of surfactants,and space between two successive microgels affected the length of the assembled 3D tubular sequential assembly is economical and applicable with respect to the formation of a complex vascular network,shortcomings associated with the fabrication of thick microgels(≥ 600μm)containing non-straight vertical cross-sections and with thin microgels(≤ 150μm)showing poor mechanical strength limit the application of this method[81].Overall,vascularized tissue formed with the modular approach shows poor tissue integration and capillary network formation in vivo. assembly:(A)collagen solution loaded with human hepatoma(HepG2)cells was gelled into ethylene oxide tube at 37°C for 30 min,the tube was then segmented into 2-mm length,and the collagen modules were collected after rotating in a HepG2 cell loaded

diagram of the microgel assembly process(reproduced with permission from[75,79]).In the past decade,researchers have focused on fabricating nanofiber-based vascular constructs because nanofibers possess similar topographical cues to ECM[82].Using different electrospinning techniques,random,aligned,and core/shell nanofibers have been printed and nanofiber-based matrices studied for tissue wide range of synthetic and natural materials,including polycaprolactone(PCL),poly(L-lactic acid)(PLLA),PLGA, poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO),PVA,chitosan,gelatin,and collagen,have been explored fornano-fabrication applications[83].Synthetic nanofibers show more mechanical stability compared to natural fibers,but hydrophobicity,the absence of cell binding motifs,and poor biodegradability limit their ,natural polymeric materials are hydrophilic,and biocompatible,and possess cell binding motifs,yet poor degradation and mechanical properties are major shortcomings that need to be overcome for address these issues,researchers have explored composites,copolymers,and hybrid biopolymers to fabricate nano- fibers and achieved some remarkable successes in tissue vascularization[84].In some studies,random or aligned fibers were effective in terms of vasculature example,when electrospun random PCL/collagen(rPCL/Col)and aligned PCL/collagen-PEO(aPCL/Col-PEO)nanofibers were implanted in the arterio-venous loop in rats,a larger number of blood vessels and better capillary density and branching hierarchy were seen in the rPCL/Col fiber-implanted group 8 weeks postoperatively compared to the aPCL/Col-PEO ,rPCL/Col fibers facilitated the formation of small pore sized capillaries,whereas the aPCL/Col-PEO scaffold promoted early and evenly distributed blood vessels throughout the scaffold,resulting in a shorter prevascularization time[85].Prevascularized and aligned nanofibers can also promote or aligned poly(ε-caprolactone)/cellulose electrospun nanofibers have been used to fabricate a mesh structure in a layer-by-layer seeded onto the aligned nanofibers promoted prevascularization in vitro compared to randomly oriented nanofibers by forming capillary-like the prevacularized and aligned nanofibers were implanted subcutaneously in rats,host blood vessels penetrated deep into the nano-meshes and integrated with the vascular network[86].In an attempt to prevent thrombosis in a small-diameter blood vessel,graded chitosan/poly ?-caprolactone(CS/PCL)nanofibers fabricated with sequential coelectrospinning were heparinized to immobilize and SMCs were cultured on the top and bottom surfaces of the graded CS/PCL nanofibers,mimicking the lumen and adventitia of blood vessels, graded and heparinized nanofibers demonstrated outstanding anti-thrombogenic ,better HUVEC attachment,proliferation,and monolayer formation have been identified on graded CS/PCL scaffolds compared to uniform CS/PCL scaffolds[87]. of vascular networks with mechanical spacersThe shortcomings related to sacrificial filaments used to form microfluidic networks have led researchers to investigate alternative of mechanical spacers into the 3D scaffold(Fig.7)generates linear microchannels without causing any particular,several studies have used mechanically removable spacers to create microchannels in a hydrogel one study,linear wire arrays ranging from 152 to 787 μm in diameter were used to form microfluidic channels in a silk fibroin the channels often lose uniformity after removal of the mechanical spacers,attempts have been made to introduce hollow tubes into the spacer-generated hollow channels with open wall porosity,as well as silk tubes and porous silk tubes with incorporated channels were formed in the silk scaffolds,after which human arterial endothelial cells(hAECs)were seeded into the hollow channels in vitro with or without the presence of collagen-I or 7 days of seeding,hAECs formed a nearly continuous layer around the spacer-generated hollow channel and ECM protein-loaded silk tubes[88].Because the formation of confluent monolayers of ECs in spacer-generated hollow channels is difficult,researchers have attempted to transfer self-assembled cell layers into the hollow channel to avoid the cell seeding one study,HUVECs were seeded on oligopeptide-adsorbed micrometric gold rods to form self-assembled monolayers(SAMs),and then the SAM-attached gold rods were encapsulated in photocrosslinked SAMs of ECs were transferred into the GelMA by applying an electrical potential,followed by the perfusion of SAM with medium at 2 μL/min.This approach was further explored to transfer double layers of assembled cells from gold rods into GelMA to mimic native blood form double layers of vascular cells,HUVEC-coated gold rods were dipped into GelMA solution containing NIH 3T3 fibroblast cells,and then encapsulated in the GelMA applying an electrical potential,the double layers of assembled cells were transferred into the bulk gel,and then the layers were perfused with media for stabilization[31].Although promising,mechanical spacers have not to date been able to generate complicated and branched structures that resemble native blood vessels. with natural architectureTissue-specific acellular matrix contains biological,structural,functional,and topographical cues that promote vascular tissue growth through the upregulation of signaling pathways,phenotype,mechano-transduction,and differentiation and proliferation of the repopulated vascular cells[89,90].Different studies have prepared decellularized vascular tissue with chemical(acid,base,detergent,hypotonic and hypertonic solutions),biological(,dispase,etc.),or physical(,pressure,electroporation,agitation,pressure gradient,etc.)agents in consideration of tissue properties(e.g.size,lipid content,density,thickness,cellularity,etc.).However,such processes often disrupt the ultrastructure of ECM,remove ECM and growth factors,and provoke immune responses[91–93].A number of studies have successfully grown functional macro blood vessels with decellularized example,in one study a recellularized tissue-engineered vessel with autologous EPCs prevented clotting and intimal hyperplasia for 30 days in a porcine model[94].When decellularized rat iliac arteries seeded with ECs were implanted in the abdominal aorta of rats,native vessel-like structures were observed at 3 months[95].Similarly,the inner layer of decellularized pig arteries were repopulated with human ECs and implanted in the pigs as iliac artery substitutes;the inner layer of the recellularized matrix was covered by ECs,and no thrombi formation was reported 70 days postoperatively[96].Apart from EC seeding,the success of decellularized matrix vascularization largely depends on the implementation of physical example,decellularized rat hearts were repopulated with cardiac cells or ECs,and then cultured in a bioreactor maintaining simulated cardiac physiology over 28 days.In both larger and smaller coronary vessels,EC layer formation was identified 7 days after , cell-seeded heart tissue showed contraction and expansion under electrical stimulation 8 days after cell seeding[97].Decellularized cadaveric lungs containing intact internal structures( vascular network,airways,and alveolar geometry)were seeded with ECs and then cultured in a bioreactor simulating developmental physiological such lungs were transplanted and perfused by the recipient's blood circulation in vivo,gas exchange was observed up to 6 h after ,the success of this approach largely depends on the use of progenitor cells,prolonged in vitro and in vivo culture,and an ideal postoperative ventilation regimen for the regenerated lungs[98]. of cell transfer,and vascular network formation mechanism by mechanical

permission from[31]). elucidating the concept of tissue printing using tissue strands as a new bioink(reproduced with permission from[102]). aggregates as bioinkIn vivo,tissues or organs develop due to the self-assembly and self-organization of multiple cell types without the influence of it was established decades ago that tissue regeneration requires engineered constructs,several complexities related to the scaffolding biomaterial have led researchers in recent years to harness the in vivo mechanism of tissue number of studies report that bioprinted cell aggregates form pre-designed tissue constructs through self-organization and tissue fusion[99].Cell aggregates composed of single cell or multiple cell types can be bio-printed as cell pellets,tissue spheroids,or tissue filaments(Fig.8).Tissue spheroids must be prepared in a controlled fashion to avoid clogging and cell damage in the bioprinting process[100].In contrast,bioprinting of cell pellets ensures high cell densities and does not cause nozzle clogging or cell ,bio-dispensing of cell pellets requires a supportive hydrogel in which they can accumulate,organize,and fuse to form tissue[101].Tissue strands can also be formed by injecting cell pellets into tubular molds prepared with a co-axial nozzle one study,injected cell pellets in permeable alginate capsules organized and fused to form tissue strands in an in vitro strands were loaded into a custom-made bioplotter and then extruded layer-by-layer to form a pre-defined 3D structure[102].These cell aggregate approaches can be applied to form tissue with vascular networks. up cell sheetIn recent years,a number of studies have printed cell aggregates instead of 3D tissue scaffolds to create vascularized functional tissue,as scaffolding material inhibits cell-cell interactions and causes various complexities including inflammation,cytotoxicity,and tissue the cell sheet technique,tissue-specific cells are cultured on a temperature-responsive material to create a cell-ECM form vascularized tissue,a single monolayer sheet of ECs can be stacked with cell sheets of interest in a sandwich fashion or vascular cells can be co-cultured with tissue-specific cells to form vascularized multiple cell an illustration,Fig.9 shows an overall experimental scheme for fabricating an hMSC-based scaffold-free tissue engineered blood general,cell sheets can be attached and detached from a temperature-responsive culture dish incubating at either a higher(37 °C)or lower temperature(<25 °C).Nanometer-scale coating of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)on polystyrene tissue culture surfaces facilitates attachment and detachment of endothelial cells and hepatocytes by shifting from hydrophobic to hydrophilic conditions at temperatures below 25°C[103].Vascularized cell sheets prepared in this way can be compiled to form thick instance,triple-layered cell sheets were produced from coculture of endothelial and cardiac cells overlaid on a resected tissue containing a vascular bed and perfused in a 3 days of perfusion culture,ECs formed luminal capillaries throughout the cardiac sheet upon connection with the vascular bed.The triple-layered vascularized cardiac tissues prepared in this way could beat and were increased tissue thickness,a six-layered cell sheet was prepared by compiling either two triple-layered or six single-layered cell sheets together and then the stack overlaid on the vascular bed.The combined two-triple layered sheets created thicker cardiac tissues with greater cell density compared to the compiled six-layer sheets due to improved cell viability and vascularization [104].Further,functional and vascularized tissue was obtained with 12 stacked cell sheets,indicating the efficacy of this approach to create vascularized thick tissue in transplantation of thin(～ 80 μm)cardiac cell sheets in vivo has also been found effective with respect to developing thick(～1 mm)vascularized one study,cell sheets grown from neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were repeatedly transplanted into rats at 1-,2-,or 3-day poly-surgical approach created a thick(～1mm),well-vascularized,and perfused myocardium tissue[105].Although vascularized tissue formation is possible with cell sheets,poor mechanical strength and tissue integrity of stacked cell sheets are major challenges that require further research. pre-vascularizationA macro-scale tissue engineered construct containing a large cell population requires a sufficient supply of nutrients,oxygen gas,and biomolecules to maintain the metabolic activity,viability,and proliferation of embedded/seeded cells.In vitro,tissue scaffolds featuring a microfluidic network can be perfused with culture media to supply the necessary elements to the large cell ,the situation becomes complicated when scaffolds are implanted in vascular networks develop in the tissue construct by angiogenesis and vasculogenesis mechanisms that take time delay can cause ischemia in the large embedded cell population in a scaffold,and reduce cell viability by triggering apoptosis or address this issue,researchers have incorporated a microfluidic network into the tissue graft and then formed a monolayer of ECs by seeding(Fig.10).Such microfluidic network-embedded grafts were then sutured with host arteries/veins during in vivo thrombopoiesis-induced restenosis is often seen in tiny blood vessels,nutrient supply throughout the scaffold might be hindered due to the blockage of the microfluidic network in ,different studies have adapted several techniques to prevascularize the engineered construct,and then seed the graft with multiple cell types.In particular,scaffolds loaded with microvessel fragments,angiogenic factors,or vascular cells(ECs,SMCs)have been cultured in vitro or in vivo( loop)to form vascular networks prior to tissue-specific cell seeding[107,108].The prevascularized grafts take less time to inosculate with host vasculature,and thus support tissue growth,modeling,and example,when prevascularized collagen grafts seeded with fibroblasts,keratinocytes,and ECs were transplantated into mice,it took only 4 days to anastomose with host contrast,non-prevascularized scaffolds took 14 days to perfuse with native blood vessels[109].In a coculture system,prevascularization of tissue grafts largely depends on media composition,cell seeding technique,and ratio of multiple cell types.In a multiculture system,tri-culture of myoblasts, fibroblasts,and endothelial cells at certain ratios enhances capillaries compared to co-culture of myoblasts and endothelial cells after 4 weeks of culture[110].Furthermore,the tri-culture graft incubated with VEGF grew more blood vessels compared to those incubated with PDGF after 2 weeks of in vitro these cell-incorporated scaffolds achieved significant success in terms of prevascularization,formation of rapid,dense,mature,and functional capillary beds remains from in vitro prevascularization,scaffolds incorporating microvessel fragments have been used as prevascularized fact,these ECM matrices contain tissue-specific bio-chemical and topographic cues that regulate numerous cell-functions to form functional capillary collagen gel containing microvessel fragments in immunocompromised mice formed neovessels with lumen by day 11 and a mature functional microvascular bed by day 28[111].Although promising,allogeneic or xenogeneic microvessel fragments can cause immunological complexities in the host body.The success of in vitro prevascularization largely depends on the artificial physiological conditions applied during tissue number of studies maintained dynamic culture conditions including pulsation,variable flow rate,and dynamic pressure to form vascular example,cyclic mechanical strain and stress for 8 weeks promoted the proliferation,alignment,and collagen production of rabbit aortic SMCs seeded onto poly(L-lactide-co-caprolactone)(PLCL)scaffolds[112];dynamic sequential seeding of aortic SMCs and ECs onto poly(glycolic acid)(PGA)scaffolds and biomechanical stimulation for 25 days enhanced capillary formation and ECM deposition[113];and a controlled hypoxic environment influenced cells to secrete VEGF,which promoted vascularization in vitro[114].However,modulation of oxygen concentration in a co-culture system can alter the differentiation of stem cells into different lineages[115].Moreover,bidirectional flow in the biaxial bioreactor of a co-culture system(e.g.EPCs and MSCs)significantly reduces hypoxia-induced VEGF expression by eliminating the oxygen ,blood vessel formation is hindered in a bidirectional flow system compared to static culture and unidirectional flow systems[116]. formation with cell sheets:scaffold-free fabrication approach of hMSC-based tissue engineered blood vessel(TEBV),incorporation of human EPC in the vessel lumen,and culture and maturation of TEBV in a perfusion bioreactor(reproduced with permission from[106]). of blood vessel formation and maturation within a scaffold cultured in a bioreactor:(A)effect of shear stress on ECs and(B)step-wise demonstration of blood vessel formation by ECs in a vitro tissue prevascularization requires well-connected and porous scaffolds,microfluidic networks,complex bioreactors,and culture media;however,the long-term fate of the capillary bed formed remains address this issue,researchers have paid attention to in vivo prevascularization of engineered this approach,cell/angiogenic factor-loaded tissue constructs are implanted into a temporary site within the host body,and then transplanted into a specific the case of angiogenic factor-embedded scaffolds,angiogenic sprouting takes place due to the controlled release of angiogenic factors demonstrate short half-lives in vivo,autologous cells are incorporated in the scaffold to express VEGF.In particular,scaffolds are initially implanted close to an arteriovenous loop in the host body to promote vasculature[117].When a well-perfused capillary bed is formed within the matrix after a certain time,scaffolds are explanted,seeded with multiple cell types,and then transplanted into the target one study,an FGF-2-enriched Matrigel chamber was implanted around the epigastric pedicle of a diabetic Matrigel was replaced by highly vascularized adipose tissue after 21 days of of pancreatic islets into the prevascularized chambers in diabetic mice significantly reduced the blood glucose levels,indicating the better survival and function of islets in the prevascularized chamber compared to non-prevascularized chambers[118].Likewise,neonatal cardiac cells seeded onto prevascularized cardiac patches and transplanted onto infarcted rat hearts enhanced cardiac function after 28 days[107]. and future research directionsThe success of tissue and organ regeneration largely depends on the formation of a mature and well-perfused vascular network within the developing date,significant progress has been achieved in the printing of vascular constructs(Table 1).In recent decades,technological advancements in 3D bioprinting systems have made it possible to print cell aggregates,tissue strands,or cell/GF-loaded biomaterials layer-by-layer as per a predefined geometry developed by CAD particular,inkjet-and 3D-bioplotting-based techniques have been recurrently used in different studies[119,120].Each technique has advantages and example,3D inkjet printers are cheap and fast but can result in cell damage and clogged nozzles while 3D bioplotting is suitable for printing intricate networks with sacrificial materials but at the expense of printing ,bioplotting with a coaxial nozzle has attracted significant attention due to the ability to print capillary strands with microfluidics,EC monolayers can be

time-consuming and cause significant cell damage during contrast,DLP and LS methods are comparatively biocompatible and capable of printing intricate DLP technique can print 3D capillary networks promptly with high resolution,but the technique is costly,compromises details for a large construct,and causes resin contrast,the LS approach(particularly two-or multi-photon laser systems)is capable of printing complicated 3D vascular patterns with details,although at a lower printing speed compared to the DLP ,the effect of the laser on cell damage remains controversial,and both LS and DLP techniques are only applicable to photo-crosslinkable on an understanding of physiology,researchers have reached a common agreement that micro-scale capillary networks are needed to maintain the

ablation,soft lithography,and replica molding have been frequently used to generate patterned vascular networks on a single layer planar capillary bed-embedded 3D tissue constructs can be constructed by stacking multiple single layers,assembling complexities and the requirements of long processing time limit their ,significant success in 2D capillary formation has been achieved when advanced computational approaches have been applied to manipulate the shear stress,medium circulation,and bio-molecule distribution in micro-lumen seeded with ECs and mural success in 2D has been further translated to 3D microfluidic systems to promote EC monolayer formation on the lumen.To achieve a self-assembled capillary network rather than apredesigned one,EC-coated micromodules containing tissue-specific cells have been loaded into engineered constructs and then perfused with medium in a ,this approach grows vascular networks that are dissimilar to those of native tissue and
