As an intrinsic component of adipose tissue (AT), adipose tissue-derived extracellular vesicles (AT-EVs) have demonstrated both adipogenic and angiogenic ability in recent studies. However, whether AT-EVs could be employed to coordinate the angiogenesis and adipogenesis in the vascularization of adipose organoids remains largely unexplored. Herein, we present an efficient method for isolating higher-purity AT-EV preparations from lipoaspirates, and verify the superiority of AT-EV preparations' angiogenic and adipogenic capabilities over those from unpurified lipoaspirates. Next, in the spheroid culture model, it was discovered that the addition of AT-EVs could effectively improve the aggregation through enhancing intercellular adhesion of monoculture spheroids composed of human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs), and helped produce vascularized adipose organoids with proper lipolysis and glucose uptake ability in the coculture spheroids comprised of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and HUVECs. Subsequently, it was observed that AT-EVs could exert a retaining effect on the vasculature of prevascularized coculture spheroids cultured in an adipogenic environment, compared to the reduced vascular networks where AT-EVs were absent. Altogether, these results indicate that AT-EVs, by means of releasing bioactive molecules that emulate the<i>in vivo</i>microenvironment, can modify non-replicative<i>in vitro</i>microenvironments, coordinate<i>in vitro</i>adipogenesis and angiogenesis, and facilitate the fabrication of vascularized adipose organoids.</p>","PeriodicalId":8964,"journal":{"name":"Biofabrication","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143254350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pathologies associated with the vasculature, whether direct or indirect, also constitute significant public health concerns that afflict humanity, leading to the wide studies on vascular physiology and pathophysiology. Given the precious nature of human derived vascular tissue, substantial efforts have been dedicated to the construction of vascular models. Due to the high cost associated with animal experimentation and the inability to directly translate results to human, there is an increasing emphasis on the use of primary human cells for the development of<i>in vitro</i>vascular models. For instance, obtaining an ApoE<sup>-/-</sup>mouse model for atherosclerosis research typically requires feeding a high-fat diet for over 10 weeks, whereas<i>in vitro</i>vascular models can usually be formed within 2 weeks. With advancements in microfluidic technology,<i>in vitro</i>vascular models capable of precisely emulating the hemodynamic environment within human vessels are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Microfluidic vascular models are primarily constructed through two approaches: (1) directly constructing the vascular models based on the three-layer structure of the vascular wall; (2) co-culture of endothelial cells and supporting cells within hydrogels. The former is effective to replicate vascular tissue structure mimicking vascular wall, while the latter has the capacity to establish microvascular networks. This review predominantly presents and discusses recent advancements in template design, construction methods, and potential applications of microfluidic vascular models based on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) soft lithography.

Recent advances in bioengineering have led to the development of sophisticated three-dimensional models that mimic the complex architecture and functionality of reproductive organs. These models, incorporating diverse cell types and tissue layers, are crucial for understanding physiological processes within the reproductive tract. They offer insights into decidualization, ovulation, folliculogenesis, and the progression of reproductive cancers, thereby enhancing personalized medical treatments and addressing female infertility.
