Schematic to illustrate cellular microintegration process as applied for small diameter blood vessel construct fabrication. A perpendicular nozzle configuration is utilized for electrospinning PEUU (6 wt% in HFIP at 1.5 mL/hr) and electrospraying SMCs (7.5 × 106 SMCs/mL in medium at 0.1 mL/min) onto a rotating small diameter mandrel (4.7mm, 250 rpm) transversing on a linear stage (1.6 mm/s). The macroscale appearance of SMC microintegrated PEUU tubular constructs are illustrated after removal from the mandrel (bottom right hand corner).
