specialized cells lining the umbilical vein, used in vascular research

Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) are specialized cells that line the interior surface of the umbilical vein, which carries oxygenated blood from the placenta to the developing fetus. These cells are commonly used in scientific research to study vascular biology, including blood vessel formation, function, and the mechanisms of various cardiovascular diseases.
