Abstract:Constructing functional microvascular networks in vitro represents a pivotal step in the creation of engineered tissues, organ-on-chip models, and organoids, holding profound implications for tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, drug screening, and disease modeling. As a cutting-edge bio-manufacturing approach, bioprinting enables the precise deposition of biomaterials, cells, and bioactive molecules to fabricate intricate microvascular networks that faithfully replicate the geometric architecture and functional properties of native microvasculature. This review summarizes the research progress in bioprinting microvascular networks, with a focus on bioprinting technologies, bioinks, and the biomechanical functional evaluation of microvascular networks. This review provides an overview recent advances in bioprinting microvascular networks, highlighting key developments in bioprinting technologies, bioinks and the biomechanical functional evaluation of microvascular networks.
