This figure is far more sophis0cated than everything organova is communica0ng at this 0me. When did leading with research and IP become a lost founda0on for value in life science …

Figure 2. Tissue engineering.
Inves:ga:ons with engineered :ssue constructs currently span at least eight orders of magnitude. Yet, the minimum therapeu:c threshold for recapitula:ng solid organ func:on in humans is es:mated at the level of 1–10 billion func:oning parenchymal cells. We s:ll have a ways to go.

Figure 3. Overview of 3D prin0ng.
(A) A 3D model can be generated and visualized in a wide range of so\ware packages. 3D model available under Crea:ve Commons license via Thingiverse.com, courtesy of ar:sts Barak Moshe and Faberdashery. (B) The surface topology is simplified to a mesh comprising a series of 3D coordinates (ver:ces) and the triangles (faces) that connect them. (C) The surface mesh is computa:onally sliced layer-‐by-‐layer to calculate machine instruc:ons suitable for 3D prin:ng. Machine instruc:ons can be visualized en face or in cross-‐sec:on (inset). (D) 3D prin:ng via melt extrusion (inset) can easily achieve layer heights which surpass the resolu:on of human fingerprints. Scale bar = 1 mm. (E) A selec:on of the diverse parameter space of 3D prin:ng technologies. Many dozens of different combina:ons are in prac:ce today.

FIGURE 4: Recapitula0ng whole organ vasculature. Figure 4. Journey of a molecular nutrient through na0ve 0ssues.
Cellular organiza:on in vascularized :ssues is commonly simplified into four regimes, which are rarely recapitulated together in engineered :ssue constructs. Soluble blood components vary drama:cally in size, concentra:on, and biochemistry, and each has dis:nct targets and mechanisms for nego:a:ng :ssue architecture. Artwork render and anima:on (Movie S1) performed with Blender.org open-‐source so\ware.

FIGURE 5: Recapitula0ng whole organ vasculature. It should be possible to create whole vascularized organoids by merging current anatomical mapping technologies with 3D prin:ng. (A) A :ssue or organ of interest is scanned via microcomputed tomography (micro-‐CT). Source 2D liver scans courtesy of Chris Chen and Sangeeta Bha:a, addi:onal research available via [10]. The resul:ng voxels (volumetric pixels) can be visualized and converted into a 3D surface topology. (B) Op:onally, the 3D surface mesh can be fully parametrized in order to generate, de novo, similar vascular architectures as a new topology. (C) Na:ve or synthe:cally generated vascular architectures are then computa:onally sliced and prepared for 3D prin:ng directly (in sacrificial ink) or by boolean volumetric subtrac:on (in addi:ve ink). A\er physical cleanup, 3D prin:ng can yield cell-‐laden hydrogels containing living cells and perfusable vasculature. Shown here for clarity is an architecture with one inlet and zero outlets, but more complete or complex architectures with mul:ple inlets and outlets could be achieved with this same workflow.
