BIOPRINTING FOR SKIN - 3D Bioprinting and Nanotechnology in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine - page 295

major challenges, but would accelerate wound healing and could prove to be essential since insufficient
vascularization often leads to the rejection of transplants, especially very large ones. Moreover, print-
ing skin with a connectable vascular network would enable further applications in drug testing (e.g. in
a body-on-a-chip system). First steps toward a printed vascular network, applied in vivo , were already
done ( Gaebel et al., 2011 ).
