Description
Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC) plays a key role in a diverse range of physiological and pathophysiological processes. Cultured from the human umbilical cord of newborns, HUVEC cells are reactive to cytokine stimulation in the expression of cell adhesion molecules. These HUVEC cells are used for the investigation of arterial disease and cancer development. Other important HUVEC cell processes include macromolecule transport, blood coagulation, angiogenesis and fibrinolysis.
