Loss of vascular elasticity results from progressive degeneration of the extracellular matrix of elastic arteries under the effect of aging and certain diseases, including atherosclerosis. To investigate the influence of vessel wall stiffening on endothelial cell (EC) function, we seeded human umbilical vein ECs onto variably compliant polydimethylsiloxane substrates. When plated on the more compliant substrate, ECs assembled into capillary-like structures. By contrast, they failed to form a network on stiff substrates, even in the p
