HUVECs

[Toxicology in Vitro] Vitronectin receptor (VTNR)-expressing HUVECs were used to determine the effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals and endogenous hormones on cell adhesion to vitronectin-coated surfaces, and on VTNR activation.

[Environmental Pollution] Researchers found that in terms of metabolic activity, endothelial cells were much more sensitive to PFOS than fibroblasts or epithelial cells, and concluded that PFOS possesses antiangiogenic properties.

[Cell Death & Disease] The authors found that 3D human placenta-derived MSCs demonstrated a significant increase in secretion of anti-inflammatory factors and trophic factors like VEGF, PDGF, FGF via QPCR and Bio-Plex assays.

[NPG Asia Materials] 3D printed macrophage exosomes scaffolds, exhibiting a predefined structure and persistent release of exosomes, displayed distinct immunomodulatory effects and improved osteogenesis/angiogenesis.

[Scientific Reports] Researchers examined the host cells that promoted cartilage maturation via cell–cell contact. Based on analysis of the transplanted chondrocytes, they examined the contribution of endothelial cells and macrophages.

[Cell Death & Disease] Investigators showed that the supernatant from ubiquitin-specific protease 12 (USP12)-overexpressing breast cancer cells could promote angiogenesis according to HUVEC migration and tube formation assays.
