Endothelial cells play multiple physiological functions and are central to many pathological processes. The liver contains two distinct endothelial cell types: vascular and sinusoidal. Sinusoidal endothelial cells (SEC) are microvascular endothelial cells with a unique phenotype reminiscent of dendritic cells and a unique function as antigen-presenting cells for CD4+ T cells.

Creative Bioarray provides a range of normal and diseased tissue blocks. Our high quality tissues are banked under strict and rigorous collection protocols to ensure that both paraffin embedded and frozen tissues are all well characterized, clinically annotated tissues needed for critical experiments.

Fibroblast is a type of cell that synthesizes extracellular matrix and collagen, which form the basic framework structure of biological connective tissue in animals and play an important role in tissue repair. As well as being present as fibroblasts, these cells exist in an alternative state, as fibrocytes. Fibroblast is the term used to describe these cells when they are in an activated state. Fibrocyte refers to a state in which cells are less active.

Human cardiac stromal cells are derived from whole hearts that have been dissociated into single cells and cultured using differential adhesion. Human cardiac stromal cells are from a single donor. Human cardiac stromal cells may be used for various types of in vitro, in vivo, or transplantation studies into normal or diseased systems.

Creative Bioarray cDNA can be used in gene expression and cloning studies, gene mutation analysis, analysis of mRNA alternative splicing and other molecular biology fields.
