Abstract excerpt
Endothelial cells (EC) are important regulatory cells in physiology and pathology. in vitro studies with rat EC from heart tissue are hampered by laborious isolation and purification procedures, low yield, and limited lifespan of the cells. Therefore, it is essential to obtain long-term heart EC lines that offer a more adequate in vitro system for studying rat heart EC. An ex vivo perfusion model was used to...
