The blood vessels in the abdominal muscle of the mouse (red) and the blood vessels of the engineered tissue implanted in this muscle (green). Before implantation, the engineered blood vessels underwent static stretching, which caused them to organize in a direction parallel to the stretching direction. After the transplant, as you can see, a very good connection was achieved between the transplanted blood vessels and the original blood vessels, thanks to the similar directionality.
