Capillary Endothelial Cell Subtypes in the Lung: Markers and Response to Developmental Lung Injury
18 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease that affects preterm infants. Disrupted microvascular growth is a well-recognized pathologic feature of BPD, which plays a critical role in arrested alveologenesis. Recent studies have identified two subpopulations of pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (ECs): general capillary (gCap) and aerocyte (aCap) cells. In this study, we validated proposed...
