Vascular Research

Bead sprouting assay shows irregular blood vessel formation of human umbilic venous endothelial cells (HUVECs). Cells were transduced with an mScarlet-tagged lentiviral plasmid (magenta), embedded into a fibrin gel in an ibidi µ-Plate 24 Well, and co-cultured with lung fibroblasts for 7 days. The actin cytoskeleton was stained with phalloidin (green) and nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). The image was taken using a Zeiss LSM 710 Meta confocal scanner with a 10x objective.
