Human Vascular Endothelial Cells (HUVEC)

Human Vascular Endothelial Cells (HUVEC) are specialized cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels in humans. They play a crucial role in regulating blood flow, maintaining barrier function, and facilitating the exchange of substances between the bloodstream and surrounding tissues. HUVECs help control inflammation and blood clotting, and they are essential for the growth of new blood vessels, a process known as angiogenesis. These cells are commonly used in medical research to study various cardiovascular diseases and test new therapies, as they closely mimic the behavior of blood vessel cells in the human body.
