Fabrication of vascularized tissue
First Claim
1. A laminated structure consisting essentially of multiple layers, wherein each layer consists essentially of tissue and vasculature, wherein the layers are assembled adjacent to each other by folding and compacting, the resulting vasculature is in three dimensions throughout the structure, and the structure has connections for flow into and out of the vasculature, and whereby the structure can be implanted directly by connecting blood vessels to flow into and out of the vasculature.
