Engineering Vascularized Tissues

Modulation of tissue response to implanted materials is critical to the success of therapies in regenerative medicine, design of biosensors and development of engineered tissues. The ability to control vascularization around the implanted materials can improve function and integration of the therapeutic or diagnostic approach. A number of methods for enhancing network formation are being explored, including seeding cells, delivering growth factors, prevascularizing materials through cell self-assembly, patterning and surgical techniques. The optimal approach is likely to depend on the specific application. The goal of our research is to increase understanding of the process of vessel assembly and use this information to guide the development of new materials for enhancing vascularized tissue formation in, and around, implanted materials. In this presentation our recent work in three areas will be discussed: growth factor delivery for vascularization around encapsulation systems, porous biomaterials for integration of vascularized tissues and 3D imaging techniques for characterizing tissue response to implanted materials.
