Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) are isolated from the vein of umbilical cord. These cells exhibit cobblestone morphology with large dark nuclei. They express many important endothelial signal molecules, for example von Willebrand factor (vWF), which is associated with vascular homeostasis regulation, blood platelets mediation and blood vessel wall tone. HUVECs can be identified by the expression of specific marker proteins, including PECAM-1, VE-cadherin, and VWF. These cells maintain many functional properties of vascular endothelium, such as angiogenesis capability, inflammatory response, and vascular permeability regulation. Due to their accessibility and robust growth characteristics, HUVECs have become one of the most widely used in vitro systems for investigating endothelial cell physiology, vascular diseases, and drug screening applications.

Human umbilical vein endothelial cells culture can be used as a laboratory model for studying vasculature and angiogenesis. They are also good cell source to build scaffolds and facilitate vascularisation in tissue engineering. HUVECs can be used to characterize endothelial cell stress response towards physiological and pathophysiological stimuli and build 3D model system to study cell-cell interaction, cell migration, tumour angiogenesis as well as many other researches.
