A Low Cost Implantation Model in the Rat That Allows a Spatial Assessment of Angiogenesis

There is continual demand for animal models that allow a quantitative assessment of angiogenic properties of biomaterials, therapies, and pharmaceuticals. In its simplest form, this is done by subcutaneous material implantation and subsequent vessel counting which usually omits spatial data. We have...
