The aim of this project was to study the role of ALK 1 and ALK 5 in blood vessel formation, both in the adult human body and during human embryonic development, using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and hES cell derived endothelial cells, respectively.
Markmið verkefnisins var að skoða hlutverk ALK 1 og ALK 5 í blóðæðamyndun, bæði í þroskuðum mannslíkamanum og í fósturþroska mannsins.
