Endothelial diversity in health and disease. KU Leuven
My lab's central research theme is understanding mechanisms underlying molecular, morphological and functional differences among endothelial cells (ECs) across the inner lining of our vascular system. The initial focus was to understand how this diversity is transcriptionally regulated in healthy conditions in large vessels and small capillaries in different vital organs (like brain, heart and liver). Now, we will expand this knowledge by ...
