Organoids are three-dimensional structures formed by self-organizing growth of cells in vitro, which own many structures and functions similar with those of corresponding in vivo organs. Although the organoid culture technologies are rapidly developed and the original cells are abundant, the organoid cultured by current technologies are rather different with the real organs, which limits their application. The major challenges of organoid cultures are the immature tissue structure and restricted growth, both of which are caused by poor functional vasculature. Therefore, how to develop the vascularization of organoids has become an urgent problem. We presently reviewed the progresses on the original cells of organoids and the current methods to develop organoids vascularization, which provide clues to solve the above-mentioned problems.

Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) is widely distributed in human tissues and is important in inhibiting angiogenesis.It also occupies an indispensable position in the formation, growth, differentiation, and metastasis of tumors in different tissues.TSP-1 plays an important role in the occurrence and development of various types of tumors. The inhibitory effect of TSP-1 on the angiogenesis and tumor development of oral and maxillofacial malignant tumors has been demonstrated in recent years. This paper reviews the findings and progress of TSP-1 research involving all kinds of tumors as well as oral and maxillofacial malignancies.

Cluster of differentiation 147(CD147)/extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN) is a widely distributed transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and is highly enriched on the surface of malignant tumour cells. A major function of CD147 is to stimulate matrix metalloproteinase production in stromal fibroblasts and endothelial cells. CD147 promotes growth,invasion,metastasis,and glycolysis of malignant cells,induces angiogenesis,multidrug resistance,and anoikis resistance,and inhibits starvation-induced autophagy et al. This review focuses on the structural and biological characteristics of CD147 as well as recent advances in its multiple functions in malignant tumours and underlining mechanisms.

OBJECTIVETo create a three dimension (3D) in vitro model for angiogenesis of hemangioma.
METHODThe fragment of hemangioma specimen was embedded in fibrin gel to set up the three-dimension (3D) in vitro model for angiogenesis of hemangioma.
RESULTIn the model, microvessels grew out from the tissue fragments at the 2nd to 3rd day after culture, and at the 8th to 9th day a compact network of microvessels come into being, then tending to be stationary. The compact network around the tissue fragment was confirmed to be blood vessels by immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy.
CONCLUSIONThis model helps to study the mechanism of hemangioma angiogenesis and investigate the drugs of anti-angiogenesis.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including apoptotic bodies, microvesicles and exosomes, play a crucial role in cell-to-cell communication. EVs derived from various cell types have the potential to deliver complex information to endothelial cells and to induce either pro- or anti-angiogenic signaling.
