Engineers have developed a technique to make artificial arteries that produce biochemical signals vital to their natural functions. The technique is ten times faster than current methods. It was used to make tiny arteries that can support 3-D microscale organ platforms for drug testing and may enable researchers to conduct experiments on arterial replacements in record time.
