In the advent of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, demand for innovative approaches to biofabricate complex vascular structures is increasing. We describe a single-step 3D bioprinting method leveraging Aspect Biosystems RX1 technology, which integrates crosslinking step at flow-focusing junction, immortalized adult rat brain endothelial cell (SV-ARBEC)-encapsulated alginate-collagen type I hydrogel rings. This biofabrication process involves strategic layer-by-layer assembly rings, encapsulating SV-ARBECs in spatially controlled manner while optimizing access media nutrients. The spatial arrangement within rings promotes spontaneous angiogenic network formation constrained deposition cells matrix facilitates tissue-like organized vascular-like development. approach provides platform that can be adapted many different types leveraged better understand mechanisms driving angiogenesis vascular-network bioprinted constructs supporting development more disease models advancing drug discovery, engineering, medicine applications.
