Christopher Hughes: An in vitro model for the Study of Angiogenesis (Interview)

Published: April 28, 2007 doi: 10.3791/175

Summary

Christopher C.W. Hughes describes the utility of his culture system for studying angiogenesis in vitro. He explains the importance of fibroblasts that secrete a critical, yet unidentified, soluble factor that allow endothelial cells to form vessels in culture that branch, form proper lumens, and undergo anastamosis.
