Human primary endothelial label-free biochip assay reveals unpredicted functions of plasma serine proteases

Abstract Tissue-on-a-chip technologies are more and more important in the investigation of cellular function and in the development of novel drugs by allowing the direct screening of substances on human cells. Constituting the inner lining of vessel walls, endothelial cells are the key players in va...
