In this study, we engineered a vascularized 3D dermis by layering multiple highly aligned prevascularized sheets with human mesenchymal stem cells to mimic the capillary loops observed in native dermis tissue. Monocyte-derived macrophages were seeded onto these prevascularized constructs to mimic the innate immune-response in vitro. To evaluate macrophage responses to these scaffolds, we used multiphoton microscopy to detect the metabolic phenotypes of macrophages on engineered scaffolds over time. NADH and FAD are coenzymes that emit endogenous fluorescence and participate in various metabolic pathways, and their fluorescence lifetime is associated with different protein binding states and microenvironments. Fluorescence lifetime images of macrophages were obtained on day 3 and day 7 after seeding, and significant differences in NADH and FAD fluorescence lifetime features can be observed in macrophages on different scaffolds.
