Endothelial Transcriptomic Analysis

Abstract

Endothelial cell activity can be studied targeting the mature cells within the tissues and blood vessels or it could be done using the precursor cells (EPC). For in vitro studies, pure EPC can be harvested from umbilical cord, peripheral blood and bone marrow. The following sections describe the methods of transcriptomic analyses of cells that can be employed to endothelial cells including its precursors.
