Abstract excerpt
Endothelial plasticity, the capacity of endothelial cells (ECs) to reversibly alter their phenotype in response to environmental cues, typically enables adaptive vascular remodeling and tissue homeostasis. In diabetes, this plasticity becomes maladaptive, driving pathological transitions across interconnected axes: dysregulated angiogenesis with barrier destabilization, inflammatory reprogramming through...
