VEGF‐mediated fusion in the generation of uniluminal vascular spheroids
24 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
Embryonic mouse allantoic tissue (E8.5) was cultured in hanging drops to generate a three-dimensional vascular micro-tissue. The resulting tissue spheroids had an inner network of small diameter vessels expressing platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) and an outer layer of cells expressing SMalphaA, SM22-alpha, and SM-MHC. In a subsequent phase of culture, the fusion-promoting activity of...
