VIIatissue

VIIatissue is a term that appears in speculative discussions of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering to describe an integrated, multi-tissue platform envisioned as a single scaffold capable of supporting several tissue types in concert. It does not correspond to a widely recognized technology, product, or organization, and there is no standard definition in peer-reviewed literature. The origin of the term is unclear; some uses treat VIIatissue as an acronym—possibly for seven tissue types—while others employ it as a mnemonic or stylistic label.

In theoretical frameworks, VIIatissue outlines a design where modular, hierarchical scaffolds are vascularized to support perfusion,

VIIatissue is discussed primarily as a conceptual tool rather than as an implemented platform, and it is
