Tube Formation Co-Creation Program

What is it about?

The concept of blood vessel networks is typical to biological systems. The idea of controlling the development and behavior of this network, consisting of Arteries, Capillaries, and Veins, is a very powerful approach. The role of blood vessels play a significant role in virtually every medical condition. Cancer, for example, depends on the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis to supply the metabolic demand. Observing the behavior via time-lapse microscopy and a cell-based assay called tube formation, is a practical approach to gather information.

Why quantitative image analysis?

The process of time-lapse microscopy is depending on the acquisition and evaluation of large amounts of image data. The process of image analysis is time consuming and lacks in regards to objectivity. This is the fundamental reason for us to develop solutions for this assay.
