To date, thick tissue defects are typically reconstructed by applying autologous tissue flaps or engineered tissues. In this protocol, we present a new method for engineering vascularized tissue flap bearing an autologous pedicle, to serve as a substitute to autologous flaps.

Engineered tissues heavily rely on proper vascular networks to provide vital nutrients and gases and remove metabolic waste. In this work, a stepwise seeding protocol of endothelial cells and support cells creates highly organized vascular networks in a high-throughput platform for studying developing vessel behavior in a controlled 3D environment.
