What Does HAEC Stand For?
HAEC stands for Human Aortic Endothelial Cell
HAEC, or Human Aortic Endothelial Cell, refers to endothelial cells derived from the human aorta, the largest artery in the body. These cells are essential for studying vascular biology, including the mechanisms of atherosclerosis, inflammation, and blood vessel function. HAECs play a critical role in understanding cardiovascular diseases and developing therapeutic interventions. Their use in research provides significant insights into endothelial cell behavior, signaling pathways, and interactions with other cell types in the vascular system.
