    摘要: The invention relates to a device for fabricating a perfusable three-dimensional tissue construct as well as to its manufacture and use. The device comprises a chamber in which the tissue construct may be cultivated, the chamber comprising an inlet and an outlet for perfusing the tissue construct, and a sacrificial scaffold fixed in the chamber. The sacrificial scaffold comprises a thermo-responsive polymer, the thermo-responsive polymer being not dissolvable in water at human body temperature and becoming dissolvable in water at a temperature below 30°C, preferably below 25°C. The sacrificial scaffold comprises at least one filament extending from the inlet to the outlet such that dissolution of the sacrificial scaffold provides for a liquid channel from the inlet to the outlet. The sacrificial scaffold seals the inlet and/or the outlet such that dissolution of the sacrificial scaffold after receiving a cultivation matrix in the chamber provides for a liquid channel from the inlet to the outlet through the cultivation matrix.
