Postnatal Abrogation of VEGFR2 Blocks Terminal Cap2 Differentiation by Preventing the Developmental Progression from a Capillary Intermediate Cell State
2025-07-28
Abstract excerpt
After birth, the alveolar capillary network expands to increase gas exchange surface area and endothelial-derived signals promote alveolarization. Lung capillaries are comprised of two distinct subsets, one with proliferative potential to facilitate growth and repair (Cap1), and the other serving a specialized role in gas exchange (Cap2). However, the molecular mechanisms directing capillary speciation, developmen...
