Integration of 3D Printed Hydrogels into Microfluidic Platforms for Vascular Simulation 1: Universitat de Barcelona, Barcelona, España; 2: Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia, Barcelona, España; 3: Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium. Angiogenesis is a key biological process involved in tissue regeneration, wound healing, and disease progression. Replicating it in vitro remains challenging due to its complexity. Recent advances in 3D printing and microfluidics offer new opportunities to create biomimetic platforms with precise spatial and environmental control. This study presents a microfluidic system integrating high-resolution 3D printed hydrogels to model angiogenesis. Using tunable biomaterials and pro-angiogenic stimuli, the platform enables controlled investigation of how scaffold architecture and material properties influence vascular network formation. Preliminary results show that scaffold geometry and stiffness significantly affect angiogenic responses, highlighting the importance of 3D design in guiding vascular morphogenesis. This approach demonstrates the potential of combining microfabrication and bioengineering to study angiogenesis under physiologically relevant conditions.
