Abstract: In the intricate skeletal muscle tissue, the symbiotic relationship between myotubes and their supporting vasculature is pivotal in delivering essential oxygen and nutrients. This study explored the complex interplay between skeletal muscle and endothelial cells in the vascularization of muscle tissue. By harnessing the capabilities of three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting and modeling, we developed a novel approach involving the co-construction of endothelial and muscle cells, followed by their subsequent differentiation. Our findings highlight the importance of the interaction dynamics between these two cell types. Notably, introducing endothelial cells during the advanced phases of muscle differentiation enhanced myotube assembly. Moreover, it stimulated the development of the vascular network, paving the way for the early stages of vascularized skeletal muscle development. The methodology proposed in this study indicates the potential for constructing large-scale, physiologically aligned skeletal muscle. Additionally, it highlights the need for exploring the delicate equilibrium and mutual interactions between muscle and endothelial cells. Based on the multicell-type interaction model, we can predict promising pathways for constructing even more intricate tissues or organs.
