The effect of fibrin extracellular matrix properties for the in vitro angiogenesis assay
Angiogenesis, the formation of new vascular network from the pre-existing vasculature, has been studied in the connection to the normal developmental process as well as numerous diseases. In tissue engineering research, angiogenesis is also essential to promote micro-vascular network inside engineer...

Fibrin gel with higher thrombin and lower fibrinogen concentration (i.e., 1:8 mg/U) are not stable enough to withstand the amount of PBS subjected to it hence it cannot absorb water well compared to other fibrin gel concentration.

Microstructure observation proved that fibrin gel produced in this study shows the fibrous structure.

Angiogenesis, the formation of new vascular network from the pre-existing vasculature, has been studied in the connection to the normal developmental process as well as numerous diseases.
