Provided herein is a living bone graft including a biofabricated graft core including demineralized bone matrix and a carrier and a pre-vascularized shell at least partially enrobing the graft core, the pre-vascularized shell including isolated, intact adipose-derived microvessel fragments, mesenchymal stem cells, and collagen. The disclosed bone grafts include stromal cells that differentiate and microvessels that inosculate to provide a functional microvasculature, thereby approximating native bone repair as the graft matures in the patient. Also provided herein are methods of fabricating a bespoke, living, vascularized bone graft and methods of treating a segmental bone defect in a patient.

Bone graft and methods of fabrication and use

A method for fabricating a cornea includes affixing a frame to at least one cell culture insert comprising a generally cylindrical structure having a proximal end and a distal end, a base disposed at the proximal end, and a porous membrane disposed between the proximal end and the distal end; affixing a dome-shaped member to the porous membrane within the frame, the dome-shaped member comprising a crown, a dome base, and a surface connecting the crown and the dome base; depositing a material comprising a matrix-forming compound on the frame such that the crown and at least a portion of the surface of the dome-shaped member is coated with the material comprising the matrix-forming compound; and removing the dome-shaped member to produce a fabricated cornea attached to the frame. A system for fabricating a cornea and a cornea scaffold are also described herein.
