CXCL12 enhances angiogenesis through CXCR7 activation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells

Abstract Angiogenesis is the process by which new vessels form from existing vascular networks. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) may contribute to the study of vascular repair and angiogenesis. The chemokine CXCL12 regulates multiple cell functions, including angiogenesis, mainly thro...
