Spontaneous fibroblast‐derived pericyte recruitment in a human tissue‐engineered angiogenesis model in vitro
18 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
Cooperation between endothelial cells and pericytes is essential to the stabilization and maturation of blood microvessels. We developed a unique in vitro tissue-engineered model to study angiogenesis. The human endothelialized reconstructed connective tissue model promotes the formation of a three-dimensional branching network of capillary-like tubes (CLT) with closed lumens. The purpose of this work was to...
