Driving endothelial cell specification in pluripotent stem cells and identifying organ(oid) specific vascularization for regenerative medicine KU Leuven
The vascular endothelium is essential to maintain vascular tone in health but is central to the aberrant function of both large and small blood vessels in vascular disease. Within each organ, the endothelium is highly heterogenous. Studying vascularization principles within organs and organoids are important for understanding organ-specific functions of the vasculature and defining new strategies for regenerative medicine. The proposed aims ...
