Abstract

Our long-term interest is to explore the potential of microfluidics for the development of advanced tools for cell studies and analysis. This contribution describes a method to cultivate Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC) in microchannels without continuous flow. The effects of seeding and culture conditions on cell behavior were studied.
