Abstract

Inspired by drying-driven curling of apple peels, hydrogel-based micro-scaled hollow tubules are proposed in article number 1903553 by Yuguang Zhang, Xiaoming Sun, Hélder A. Santos, Wenguo Cui, and co-workers for biomimicking microvessels with diameters of 50–500 μm, which promote microcirculation and improve the survival of random skin flaps. The 3D-shape-morphing technique is of great flexibility and potential to lay the foundation for the construction of complex vascular networks, such as Y-branches, anastomosis rings, and triangle loops.
