Prof. Atala points out that whilst the vascularization of flat structures such as skin and tubular such as blood vessels is possible, a key remaining challenge that need to be addressed is the vascularization of complex whole organs. This interview took place at the 2021 World Stem Cell Summit (WSCS).
