description | Strategies to fabricate microvascular networks that structurally and functionally mimic native microvessels are needed to address a host of clinical conditions associated with tissue ischemia. The objective of this work was to advance a novel ultrasound technology to fabricate complex, functional microvascular networks directly in vivo. Acoustic patterning utilizes forces within an ultrasound standing wave field (USWF) to organize cells or microparticles volumetrically into defined geometric assemblies. A dual-transducer system was developed to generate USWFs site-specifically in vivo through interference of two ultrasound fields. The system rapidly patterned injected cells or microparticles into parallel sheets within collagen hydrogels in vivo. Acoustic patterning of injected endothelial cells within flanks of immunodeficient mice gave rise to perfused microvessels within 7 days of patterning, whereas non-patterned cells did not survive. Thus, externally-applied ultrasound fields guided injected endothelial cells to self-assemble into perfused microvascular networks in vivo. These studies advance acoustic patterning towards in vivo tissue engineering by providing the first proof-of-concept demonstration that non-invasive, ultrasound-mediated cell patterning can be used to fabricate functional microvascular networks directly in vivo. |
