Abstract excerpt
Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT), in which endothelial cells (ECs) lose their endothelial identity and acquire mesenchymal-like features, contributes to vascular dysfunction and remodeling in atherosclerosis. However, the fate and function of these cells remain unclear. Here, we investigated their differentiation potential and functional properties to define how EndMT contributes to vascular...
