摘要

Microphysiological models recapitulating complex vasculature have enabled in vitro evaluation of intricate cellular crosstalk and microenvironmental mechanical cues and stressors. Here, we present a comprehensive review of time and architecture as two under-explored facets required for physiological mimetic vascular models. We conclude with our perspective that incorporating longevity and architecture will improve complex vascular modeling and provide a platform to support chronic disease modeling, personalized medicine, drug testing, and tissue engineering.
