Key points from article :
Reproduce signalling between cell layers within arterial walls (endothelium and media).
Production in hours instead of weeks.
Enables 3D microscale artificial organ platforms to test drugs for efficacy and side effects.
Mechanically strong so could be used inside of the body.
COMMENT: getting blood to cells in artificial organs is a limiting factor – this could really help
The study was published in the Nature Scientific Reports journal.
