Human Endothelial Cell Models in Biomaterial Research

What is it about?

This review article on endothelial cell (EC) models as an important tool in biomaterials research critically examines, among other things, unrealistic experimental set-ups and far too far-reaching conclusions from the results obtained. The question is discussed whether this might be a reason why only a few of the large number of potential biomaterials have found their way into the clinics. As a contribution to this debate, established EC models and possible selection criteria for choosing the most reliable model are discussed.
