A review of the current data on the cell density of normal adult human endothelial cells was carried out in order to establish some common parameters appearing in the different considered populations. From the analysis of cell growth patterns, it is inferred that the cell aging rate is similar for each of the different considered populations. Also, the morphology, the cell distribution and the tendency to hexagonallity are studied. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that this phenomenon is analogous with cell behavior in other structures such as dry foams and grains in polycrystalline materials. Therefore, its driving force may be controlled by the surface tension and the mobility of the boundaries.
为了建立不同研究群体中常见的参数，对正常成人内皮细胞的细胞密度的现有数据进行了综述。通过对细胞生长模式的分析，推断出不同研究群体的细胞衰老速度相似。此外，还研究了细胞形态、细胞分布和六角形倾向。结果与以下假设一致，即这种现象类似于其他结构中的细胞行为，如多孔泡沫和多晶材料中的晶粒。因此，其驱动力可能受表面张力和边界迁移率的控制。
