Figure 5.

In vitro three-dimensional angiogenic assay of endothelial cells. Control (figure 5a), ACC-2 (figure 5b) and ACC-M (figure 5c) induce UVECs sprouting into the gel matrix (white arrow) and the mean thickness of sprouting was showed by figure 5d, figure 5e and figure 5f. UVECs cultured with ACC-M (figure 5f) shows more cell sprouting points and thicker sprouting layers than cultured with ACC-2 (figure 5e).
