Figure 6From: Mouse lung contains endothelial progenitors with high capacity to form blood and lymphatic vesselsMouse EPCs do not display evidence of transformation. The evaluation of anchorage-independent growth was examined in mouse EPCs and cells derived from a beta cell tumour seeded onto a soft agar matrix. Whereas EPCs did not grow on soft agar, beta tumour cells (used as control) formed frequent colonies during the 8 days of cultivation. 50-fold.Back to article page
