Abstract Background One of the most challenging problems in tissue engineering is the establishment of vascular supply. A possible approach might be the engineering of microvasculature in vitro and the supply by engineered feeder vessels. Methods An in vitro model for a small-diameter vessel was developed and made from adipose tissue stromal cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells in a tube-like gelatine scaffold. The number of branches emerging from the central lumen and the morphology of the central lumen of the vessel equivalent were assessed after 16 days of either pulsatile perfusion culture or culture in rotating containers by evaluation of immunohistochemically stained sections n 6 pairs of cultures . Intramural capillary network formation was demonstrated in five experiments with confocal laser scanning microscopy. Results Perfused specimens showed a round or oval lumen lined by a single layer of endothelial cells whereas following rotation
