Identification of tumor endothelial cells with high aldehyde dehydrogenase activity and a highly angiogenic phenotype.

Tumor blood vessels play an important role in tumor progression and metastasis. It has been reported that tumor endothelial cells (TECs) exhibit highly angiogenic phenotypes compared with those of normal endothelial cells (NECs). TECs show higher proliferative and migratory abilities than those NECs...
