Cultivating capillaries

Article Abstract:

Researchers at MIT have created a surface based on nanoscale patterning that could serve as a template to grow capillary tubes. The researchers found that endothelial progenitor cells could sense the patterns on the groove and align themselves along the grooves to form capillaries that are aligned in the desired direction.
