Ovine carotid artery-derived cells as an optimized supportive cell layer in 2-D capillary network assays.

Endothelial cell co-culture assays are differentiation assays which simulate the formation of capillary-like tubules with the aid of a supportive cell layer. Different cell types have been employed as a supportive cell layer, including human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) and human ma...
