Costic acid
Costic acid (β-Costic acid) is a natural product, that can be isolated from Dittrichia viscosa. Costic acid exhibits potent in vivo acaricidal activity against the parasite. Costic acid is not toxic for human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) at concentrations of up to 230 μM. Costic acid can be used for the research of varroosis in honey bee colonies.

Endothelial Tube Formation Assay
Endothelial tube formation assay evaluates the ability of endothelial cells to attach, migrate, align, and organize into capillary-like networks when cultured on gelled basement membrane extract or Matrigel; the readout is the morphology and quantity of tube-like networks, which reflects an in vitro endothelial morphogenesis step related to angiogenesis. Basement membrane extract/Matrigel provides laminin-rich extracellular matrix cues that support endothelial differentiation into capillary-like structures, but it can contain biologically active growth factors, so growth-factor-reduced matrix is preferred when testing defined angiogenic stimulators or inhibitors.
