Tissue flaps are used to cover large/poorly healing wounds, but involve complex surgery and donor site morbidity. In this study a tissue flap is assembled using the mammalian body as a bioreactor to functionally connect an artery and vein to a human capillary network assembled from induced pluripotent stem cell-derived endothelial cells (hiPSC ECs). In vitro: Porous NovoSorb™ scaffolds (3 mm × 1.
