Abstract excerpt
Angiogenesis is of major interest because of its involvement in numerous pathologies or for promoting tissue repair. It is often assessed by the ability of endothelial cells to sprout, migrate, and form vascular tubules in Matrigel in vitro. Matrigel contains a mixture of basement membrane components, which stimulate endothelial cells to form capillary-like hexagonal structures, and is often preferred over other...
