Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Diversity of sprouting of endothelial cells from dextran beads stained with phalloidin and Hoechst to visualize actin and nucleus, respectively (original magnification 10x, bar, 200 μm). ( B ) Total sprouts length with co-culture of EC with ASC (EC/ASC; dark grey) and fibroblasts (EC/Fb; light grey) as stimulating cells. ( B ) Total sprouts length with co-culture of EC with either ASC (EC/ASC; dark grey) and fibroblasts (EC/Fb; light grey) as stimulating cells. ( C ) Total sprouts length according to co-culture of EC with ASC from young (EC/ASC y; blue) or old (EC/ASC o; red) donors as stimulating cells. n = 5 donors for ASC young, n = 6 donors for ASC old, n = 1 donor for fibroblasts, experiments were conducted in 4 replicates. Unpaired Wilcoxon test was used to test the significance. * P value < 0.05.
Article Snippet: Human Dermal Endothelial Cells (EC) from juvenile donor (3yo) were purchased from Promocell and cultivated in EGM-2 (PromoCell, Heidelberg, Germany).
