An integrated study on macrovascular heterogeneity based on stem/progenitor cells and small animal models. KU Leuven
Research during the last decennium has revealed an extensive heterogeneity among endothelial cells - the cells that line the inside of blood and lymphatic vessels - at the functional, molecular and structural level. This diversity manifests itself at different levels: firstly, there are remarkable differences between endothelial cells from arteries, veins and lymphatic vessels. Moreover, there are unique characteristics for ...
