In premature babies, signs of damage to the eye ( retinopathy of prematurity, or ROP ) are observed via an ophthalmoscope as a demarcation between the vascularised and non-vascularised regions of an infant's retina.

It is interpreted as the monoicous gametophyte of a vascular land plant, because its vascularised branches end in a cup-shaped structure bearing gametangia, both antheridia and archegonia, but little structural information is preserved at the cellular level.

Instead, the platelet-derived growth factor degranulated by the clotted platelets will attract a layer of smooth muscle cells to cover the clot, and this layer of mural smooth muscle will be vascularised by the blood inside the vessel lumen rather than by the vasa vasorum.

There has been some debate as to the exact homologies of these tissues, and it has been argued that the vascularised nucellus was in fact the nucellus and integument that have become fused together, and that the'integument'was homologous to a cupule that contained only one ovule.

One method of non-implant breast reconstruction is initiated at the concluding steps of the breast cancer surgery, wherein the vascularised, breast-tissue matrix to which the autologous fat is injected; and, per the patient, such reconstruction affords almost-normal sensation throughout the breast and the nipple-areola complex.

A 2011 study found that the nasal passages of " Euoplocephalus " were looped and complex; possibly an adaptation for heat and water balance and vocal resonance, and researchers discovered an enlarged and vascularised chamber at the back of the nasal tract, which was considered by the authors to be an adaptation to improve its sense of smell.
