These tiny polymer scaffolds include channels 100 micrometers wide, about the width of a human hair. When live cells are added to the content, the channels serve as artificial blood vessels. By mimicking human tissues of organs such as liver and heart, these scaffolds provide an innovative method for testing new drugs with the aim of reducing their dangerous side effects.
