Importance of the field: Effective vascularization of thick three-dimensional engineered
tissue constructs is a problem in tissue engineering. As in native organs, a tissue …

Blood flow regulation by small arteries and arterioles includes adaptation of both vascular
tone and structure. It is becoming clear that tone and remodeling of resistance vessels are …

In this work, we introduce an algorithmic approach to generate microvascular networks
starting from larger vessels that can be reconstructed without noticeable segmentation …

Blood flow is distributed through the heart muscle via a system of vessels forming the
coronary circulation. The perfusion of the myocardium can be hampered by atherosclerosis …

One of the main determinants of perfusion distribution within an organ is the structure of its
vascular network. Past studies were based on angiography or corrosion casting and lacked …

In this paper, methods for the modeling of a realistic vascular tree in 3D space and for
hemodynamic calculating throughout the simulated tree structure have been developed …

Organ printing is a variant of the biomedical application of rapid prototyping technology or
layer-by-layer additive biofabrication of 3D tissue and organ constructs using self …

Efficient regulation of blood flow is critically important to the normal function of many organs,
especially the brain. To investigate the circulation of blood in complex, multi-branching …

Dialysis prolongs life but augments cardiovascular mortality. Imaging data suggests that
dialysis increases myocardial blood flow (BF) heterogeneity, but its causes remain poorly …

It is shown in this paper that the nearly constant length-to-diameter ratio observed with
conducting airways of human bronchial tree can be explained based on the fluid dynamic …
