This is a guideline for constructing in vivo vascularized tissue using a microsurgical arteriovenous loop or a flow-through pedicle configuration inside a tissue engineering chamber. The vascularized tissues generated can be employed for organ regeneration and replacement of tissue defects, as well as for drug testing and disease modeling.

Use of zebrafish for cardiovascular research is expanding towards research on adult hearts. For these applications, quick and simple isolation of cardiac tissues is key to avoid post-mortem changes and to obtain an adequate number of samples. Here, we describe a fast and reproducible method for dissecting adult zebrafish hearts.

Chambers of the Heart

The human heart is a complex organ made up of four chambers: the right and left atria and the right and left ventricles. These internal chambers are separated by partitions known as the interatrial and interventricular septa. The exterior of the heart features a groove known as the coronary sulcus that demarcates the atria from the ventricles, while the anterior and posterior interventricular sulci distinguish between the two ventricles. Deoxygenated blood from the body is received in the right...
FAQs
Continuous carbogen bubbling maintains oxygenation in artificial cerebrospinal fluid, helping freshly sectioned tissue recover from metabolic stress. Adequate oxygen availability supports neuronal membrane function and synaptic activity before analysis. In acute brain slice experiments, this condition contributes to stable preparations and more reliable electrophysiology, imaging, and pharmacological measurements.
Controlled temperature supports stabilization after sectioning by providing a consistent recovery environment. Because freshly prepared tissue experiences mechanical and metabolic stress, maintaining the intended temperature helps preserve neuronal structure and membrane function during the interval before analysis. Consistent temperature conditions also reduce variation between preparations, supporting more reproducible neuroscience experiments.
Gentle circulation helps maintain the recovery environment around immersed tissue without replacing the preparation's stabilization period with harsh handling. Together with oxygenated artificial cerebrospinal fluid and controlled temperature, it supports recovery from preparation-related stress. This is particularly relevant when researchers need to preserve cellular and synaptic function for later measurements.
The chamber establishes a standardized interval between tissue preparation and recording or analysis. Applying comparable oxygenation, temperature, immersion, and circulation conditions helps reduce differences caused by inconsistent recovery. As a result, observed changes in neural activity, cellular signaling, or pharmacological responses can be interpreted with greater confidence across experiments.
Freshly sectioned tissue is immersed in artificial cerebrospinal fluid inside the recovery vessel. Continuous carbogen bubbling maintains oxygenation, while controlled temperature and gentle circulation support stabilization. After this recovery interval, the preparation can proceed to electrophysiology, imaging, or pharmacological analysis, with the standardized sequence helping limit variation introduced during preparation.
Recovered tissue can support studies that examine neuronal structure, membrane function, and synaptic activity. In particular, the preparation is useful for electrophysiological recording, imaging, and pharmacological experiments involving neural circuits, cellular signaling, and brain physiology. Its value lies in providing a more stable and consistent starting condition for these analyses.
