Three-dimensional co-culture spheroid angiogenesis assay system is designed to mimic the physiologic angiogenesis. Co-culture spheroids are formed by two human vascular cell precursors, ECFCs and MSCs, and embedded in collagen gel. The new system is effective for evaluating angiogenic modulators, and provides more relevant information to the in vivo study.

Here we present a study established in the iDiv Ecotron, terrestrial mesocosm chambers with controlled environmental conditions above- and below-ground, to study the independent and interactive effects of plant history and soil history on ecosystem functioning of grassland communities along a plant diversity gradient.
FAQs
Responses can be examined through fluency, flexibility, and originality, which capture different features of idea generation. Fluency concerns the amount of responding, flexibility concerns movement across different kinds of uses, and originality concerns how novel the ideas are. Considering these dimensions together gives researchers a more informative picture than simply counting responses.
The familiar function of a clothespin can create a mental set, meaning a tendency to approach the object in its usual way. Asking for alternatives challenges that tendency and makes cognitive flexibility observable. The resulting responses can help researchers examine how readily people shift away from an established use when generating solutions.
Clothespin Uses can serve as a low-specialization probe of creative cognition because performance does not depend primarily on technical training or specialized object knowledge. This makes the task useful when researchers want to study creativity while limiting the influence of language-heavy materials. It can therefore support comparisons of individual differences in creative performance.
A basic task asks participants to consider a clothespin and produce uses beyond its conventional function. Researchers then assess the responses for fluency, flexibility, and originality rather than treating every answer as equivalent. This workflow links the participant’s generated ideas to specific aspects of divergent thinking and provides interpretable data about creative cognition.
Researchers can use the task to study divergent thinking, cognitive flexibility, problem-solving, and individual differences in creativity. It is especially relevant when the research question concerns how people generate multiple possibilities from one familiar object. The same response set may also reveal the influence of mental set on moving beyond a customary use.
Patterns in the number, range, and novelty of responses can help researchers characterize how participants produce alternative ideas. These outcomes may be used to examine differences in creative cognition and the ability to move beyond familiar approaches. Because the task uses an ordinary object, it offers a compact context for studying these processes without specialized materials.
