DSPE-PEG5000-YIGSR
DSPE-PEG5000-YIGSR is a PEG compound which composed of DSPE and a biomimetic peptide YIGSR. YIGSR interacts with the 67 kDa laminin binding protein (LBP) and promotes adhesion and spreading of a large number of cell types including endothelial cells, fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells. DSPE-PEG5000-YIGSR can be used for drug delivery.

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.
