A major barrier to the creation of engineered organs is the limited diffusion of oxygen through biological tissues. Advances in biofabrication bring us increasingly closer to complex vascular networks capable of supplying oxygen to large cellularized scaffolds. However, technologies for monitoring oxygen levels in engineered tissues do not accommodate imaging depths of more than a few dozen micrometers. Here, we report the creation of fluorescent porphyrin-hydrogel microparticles that can be use ...[more]
