Vascularizing a Tissue Scaffold

Interactive angiogenesis simulator: watch capillary tip cells sprout from a scaffold's parent vessel, follow a VEGF chemotactic gradient toward a hypoxic core, branch, and fuse (anastomosis) into a perfusing vascular network that oxygenates engineered tissue.

Engineered tissue thicker than a few hundred microns dies at its core unless a blood supply reaches it in time — this simulator grows that blood supply from scratch. Endothelial tip cells sprout from a parent vessel at the base of a bioengineered scaffold and migrate up a VEGF gradient secreted by a hypoxic core, branching stochastically and fusing (anastomosis) wherever two sprouts meet to build a connected, perfusable capillary network. A Krogh-cylinder oxygen-diffusion model recolours the surrounding tissue voxels from hypoxic to oxygenated as the network reaches them, so you can watch chemotactic bias, branching rate, migration speed and scaffold tortuosity trade off against how completely — and how fast — the construct gets vascularized.

⚙ Under the hood

This simulation allows you to explore the complex processes of tissue regeneration using stem cell technology and bioengineering principles. Manipulate cellular environments and observe how they impact healing rates and overall tissue repair – a crucial area in treating injuries and diseases.
