Schematic representation of a modular construct. Individual collagen gel cylinders (modules) normally with embedded cells are covered with endothelial cells (EC) on the outside surface. Modules randomly pack in situ and tissue spaces between individual modules form channels that allow for blood flow. In this manner, embedded cells are expected to be perfused with blood within the modular construct.
