Angiogenic potency evaluation of cell therapy candidates by a novel application of the in vitro aortic ring assay

Abstract Background Due to limitations of current angiogenesis assays, we aimed to develop a novel application of the rat aortic ring assay to assess the angiogenic potential of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). First-trimester human umbilical cord-derived perivascular cells (FTM HUCPVCs) have multi...
