Engineered tissues heavily rely on proper vascular networks to provide vital nutrients and gases and remove metabolic waste. In this work, a stepwise seeding protocol of endothelial cells and support cells creates highly organized vascular networks in a high-throughput platform for studying developing vessel behavior in a controlled 3D environment.
