New method of making endothelial cells
Up one levelA new method of making endothelial cells which is much more efficient than precious methods has been reported by researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College.
An efficient new method of making endothelial cells, which give rise to blood vessels, could prove a huge boost for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. By first finding a way to effectively tagging endothelial cells, researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College developed a simple way to increase production of these cells by more than 30-fold. The cells might one day be used to create blood vessels in engineered tissue or administered to patients to directly repair injury after heart attack or stroke, resupplying blood to damaged organs.
