[Isolation of endothelial cells from human umbilical cords and development of low-cost culture medium].
To study the role of endothelial cells in important biological phenomena such as thrombosis and atherosclerosis, it is necessary to have a sufficient amount of endothelial cells. This report shows modified methods to isolate endothelial cells from the human umbilical vein and the components of potent and low-cost culture medium for the cells.
