Biophysical Regulation of Vascular Differentiation and Assembly

This book updates and expands on various aspects of the vasculature’s microenvironment and how these regulate differentiation and assembly. Discussed in this new edition are efforts to capitalize on combining engineering techniques, to study and manipulate various biophysical cues, including: endoth...
