Endothelial cell morphogenesis. A) HUVEC plated on Matrigel. HUVEC were plated onto Matrigel pads and cultured in the absence (left panel) or presence (right panel) of VEGF (10 ng/ml). Capillary-like structures were photographed (10× objective) 20 hr after plating. B) Bovine aortic endothelial cells suspended in diluted Matrigel. The endothelial cells were suspended in a matrix containing 50% Matrigel and 50% culture medium. The following day, the medium was replaced with serum-free medium lacking (left panel) or containing (right panel) VEGF at 10 ng/ml. Capillary-like structures were photographed (10× objective) after three days of treatment. Unpublished images courtesy of Tony Walshe.
