Abstract excerpt
Endothelial cells (ECs) are a highly specialized and heterogeneous population that plays a fundamental role in maintaining vascular homeostasis, immune regulation, and blood flow control. Beyond serving as a physical barrier, ECs exhibit remarkable plasticity, undergoing phenotypic transitions, including endothelial-to-mesenchymal (EndMT), endothelial-to-hematopoietic (EndHT), endothelial-to-osteoblast (EndOT)...
