Abstract

3D Bioprinting This cover depicts a 3D bioprinted, patient-specific carotid artery model integrating anatomical geometry, hemodynamic validation, and vascular cell response. Combining computational flow simulations, biomimetic perfusion, and human vascular cells, it reveals how local variation in shear stress drives different endothelial remodeling and monocyte adhesion, providing a high-fidelity platform to study atherosclerosis progression. More details can be found in the Research Article by Yi-Chin Toh, Zhiyong Li, and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202502478).
