A simple method to align cells on 3D hydrogels using 3D printed molds
Vascular smooth muscle cells align circumferentially around the vessel lumen, which allows these cells to control vascular tone by contracting and relaxing. It is essential that this circumferential alignment is recapitulated in tissue engineered blood vessels. While many methods have been reported...
