Tiny bioengineered blood vessel grafts aid delicate microsurgeries

Scientists have been working diligently to create engineered tissue implants to repair or replace damaged or diseased tissue and organs; but their success hinges on the ability to build a sturdy connection linking the implant’s blood vessels and the patient’s existing vasculature. Now researchers have created segments of engineered blood vessels to address this critical issue.
