Validation of reliable reference genes for real-time PCR in human umbilical vein endothelial cells on substrates with different stiffness.

BACKGROUND:The mechanical properties of cellular microenvironments play important roles in regulating cellular functions. Studies of the molecular response of endothelial cells to alterations in substrate stiffness could shed new light on the development of cardiovascular disease. Quantitative real-...
