Résumé

Vascular calcification is a systemic disease characterized by calcium salt deposition within vascular walls. Here, we present a protocol for establishing an advanced dynamic in vitro co-culture system using endothelial and smooth muscle cells to replicate vascular tissue complexity. We describe steps for cell culture and seeding in a double-flow bioreactor that recreates the action of blood in humans. We then detail the induction of calcification, setting up of the bioreactor, followed by cell viability assessment and calcium quantification.
