简介：
Overview
This guideline outlines a procedure for constructing in vivo vascularized tissue using a microsurgical arteriovenous loop or a flow-through pedicle configuration. The generated vascularized tissues can be utilized for organ regeneration, tissue defect replacement, drug testing, and disease modeling.
Key Study Components
