Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of the vascular network represents pericytes that are wrapped around the apparent endothelial cell lumen. In article 1801186 , William T. Daly, William L. Murphy, and co‐workers, create three‐dimensional vascular networks in a synthetic PEG hydrogel under the influence of dynamic flow conditions. Changes in the vascular network morphology is visualized and quantified by autofluorescence multiphoton microscopy.
