Expanding tubular microvessels on stiff substrates with endothelial cells and pericytes from the same adult tissue
Endothelial cells (ECs) usually form a monolayer on two-dimensional (2D) stiff substrates and a tubular structure with soft hydrogels. The coculture models using ECs and pericytes derived from different adult tissues or pluripotent stem cells cannot mimic tissue-specific microvessels due to vascular...
