ABSTRACT
An experimental model is introduced for the induction of endothelial cell (EC) tubulogenesis after 24 h of incubation on micropatterned polymer surfaces. Pericytes or mesenchymal stem cells are added separately to this system to evaluate their effect on tubular stabilization. In the absence of additional cells, the tubular structures are lost after 36 h. Addition of only pericytes, however, stabilizes the EC vasculogenic tubes.
