Title:
IN VITRO HUMAN ANGIOGENESIS MODEL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002020729
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a tridimensional living tissue construct free of exogenous extracellular matrix material, and in which angiogenesis occurs. Network of capillaries formed into the living tissue construct allows to provide blood vessels for replacement or repair in human and animals, and is also useful in screening compounds or agents potentially having capability of modulating the angiogenesis in vitro or in vivo .
