Vascular endothelial cells form the inner layer of blood vessels where they have a key role
in the development and maintenance of the functional circulatory system and provide …

Endothelial to mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is a process whereby an endothelial cell
undergoes a series of molecular events that lead to a change in phenotype toward a …

In the mammalian lung, an apparently homogenous mesh of capillary vessels surrounds
each alveolus, forming the vast respiratory surface across which oxygen transfers to the …

BACKGROUND Each organ in the human body has its own capillary bed to carry out its
distinctive and versatile functions in response to dynamically changing systemic and local …

Rationale: Accurate knowledge of the cellular composition of the heart is essential to fully
understand the changes that occur during pathogenesis and to devise strategies for tissue …

Blood and lymphatic vessels pervade almost all body tissues and have numerous essential
roles in physiology and disease. The inner lining of these networks is formed by a single …

The function of the mammalian heart depends on the interplay between different cardiac cell
types. The deployment of these cells, with precise spatiotemporal regulation, is also …

The mammalian circulatory system comprises both the cardiovascular system and the
lymphatic system. In contrast to the blood vascular circulation, the lymphatic system forms a …

Myocardial infarction (MI) arising from obstruction of the coronary circulation engenders
massive cardiomyocyte loss and replacement by non-contractile scar tissue, leading to …

Arteries and veins are specified by antagonistic transcriptional programs. However, during
development and regeneration, new arteries can arise from pre-existing veins through a …
