Table 2 Assembly technology. The table shows several advantages and disadvantages of assembly technologies
From: Introduction of vasculature in engineered three-dimensional tissue
Technology | Vascularization engineered 3D tissues | Advantage | Disadvantage | References |
|---|---|---|---|---|
(1) 3D scaffold-based technology | Self-organization within scaffold or recellularization native vasculature ECM within decellularized tissues | Controlled selforganization with scaffold characters or native ECM and shape | With exogenous ECM or animal experiments | [38] |
(2) Cell sheet technology | Self-organization within layered cell sheets | Without exogenous scaffolds | Specific manipulation | [31] |
(3) Nanofilm coating technology | Self-organization within laded cells | Without specific equipment | Manipulation of 3D tissues to transplantation | [29] |
(4) 3D printer technology | Vascular shaping with 3D printing | Fabrication free artificial shape | Patterning size limitation and degradation for long cultivation | [37] |
