Effect of Hypoxia on Formation of Three-Dimensional Microvessel Networks by Endothelial Cells in vitro

Three-dimensional (3-D) control of microvessel formation is critical for regeneration medicine and tissue engineering. Formation and maintenance of organ functions require deep and extensive microvessel networks that can supply O2 and nutrients to tissue-forming cells. In this study, we examined the...
