Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The design of highly specific contrast agents for molecular imaging of angiogenesis requires the availability of adequate in vitro models. In this context, we investigated the applicability of a potential in vitro model based on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) mimicking physiological and angiogenic vasculature. METHODS: HUVECs in supplemented medium were used to mimic proliferating neovasculature (stimulated HUVECs), whereas quiescent non-proliferating endothelium was...     »
