Abstract
Recapitulating developmental mechanisms in vitro necessitate models of intermediate
complexity, between simple 2D culture and complex in vivo models, which integrate
both physical and molecular cues. Here, we describe a cheap and simple bottom-up
microfabrication method to build 3D millimeter-scale tissues with geometric shapes.
These tissues are suitable for long-term culture in tissue-based assays and as implants
for clinical applications. In a case study, we recapitulate some mechanisms of vasculogenesis,
the assembly of capillary blood vessels.
