Abstract excerpt
Essentials Monocytes (Mo) transdifferentiate into endothelial cell-like (ECL) cells. Mo induce tissue factor (TF) expression and secretion in microvascular endothelial cells (mECs). TF interacts with Mo in a paracrine fashion, inducing their transdifferentiation into ECL cells. TF generates a positive feedback crosstalk between Mo and mECs that promotes angiogenesis. SUMMARY: Background Monocytes (Mo) increase...
