Surface‐Treatment‐Induced Three‐Dimensional Capillary Morphogenesis in a Microfluidic Platform

Robust induction of realistic angiogenesis into a 3D matrix material under simultaneous imaging and a stably controlled concentration gradient of chemoattractants is presented. The formation of a 3D vascular network is demonstrated to be a direct consequence of surface treatment of the region of the device-containing matrix material.
