Endothelial Cell Morphogenesis and Capillary-like Network Induced by Soluble and Bound VEGF in a Definite Biogel Composed of Collagen and Fibronectin
In vitro culture of endothelial cells to form capillary-like networks is essential in tissue engineering. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the primary signal proteins stimulating blood vessel formation. This growth factor can be soluble in the medium or protein-bound to the substr...
