摘要

3D打印水凝胶支架凭借其结构可控性强、生物相容性优异的特点，已成为构建血管化组织/器官的重要方法。目前，借助数字光处理、挤出式打印等技术，已实现分级血管网络的精准构建，并在心脏、肝脏等器官特异性模型方面取得了突破性进展，如可缝合血管支架、仿生肝血窦芯片等。然而，当前相关类器官构建仍面临一些瓶颈问题，如大尺寸组织(厚度>500 μm)缺氧、生物墨水标准化不足等。未来，需要依托人工智能(AI)优化打印路径，融合微流控技术构建可灌流模型，以推动血管化组织的临床转化。

Abstract

3D-printed hydrogel scaffolds have become important tools for constructing vascularized tissues/organs owing to their high structural controllability and excellent biocompatibility. Currently

technologies such as digital light processing and extrusion-based printing have enabled the precise construction of hierarchical vascular networks

achieving breakthroughs in organ-specific models

such as the heart and liver

including suturable vascular scaffolds and bionic hepatic sinusoid chips. However

the current construction of relevant organoids still faces bottlenecks

such as hypoxia in large tissues (thickness > 500 μm) and insufficient standardization of bioinks. In this future

it will be necessary to rely on AI to optimize printing paths and integrate microfluidic technology to construct perfusable models

thereby promoting the clinical translation of vascularized tissues.
