Vascular engineering requires integrating dimensional flexibility, strength, and bioactivity to fabricate materials that enable diffusive exchange of oxygen and nutrients between cells and their environment. A recent publication (Biomaterials 2019;192:334-345) has described a new method of creating freestanding, tailorable, and biocompatible vascular constructs by coating ice scaffolds with natural or synthetic polymers.
