A simplified aortic ring assay: A useful ex vivo method to assess biochemical and functional parameters of angiogenesis

We present a simplified method for conducting aortic ring assays which yields robust sprouting and high reproducibility targeted towards matrix biologists studying angiogenesis and extracellular matrix signaling. Main adjustments from previously established protocols include embedding aortic rings b...
