[Nature Communications] The authors demonstrated a biomaterial-based approach to prepare high amounts of extracellular vesicles with high bioactivity from endothelial progenitor cells by stimulation with silicate ions derived from bioactive silicate ceramics.

[Proceedings Of The National Academy Of Sciences Of The United States Of America] Scientists elucidated the stroke-induced transcriptomic changes in the mouse cerebral microvasculature and compared them with the alterations observed in human brain stroke lesions.

[Cell Death & Disease] Investigators reported for the first time that vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC)-specific ablation of sterol regulatory element-binding protein cleavage-activating protein (SCAP) inhibited VSMC proliferation and migration, interacting with endothelial cells, and finally caused defective embryonic angiogenesis in mice.

[Frontiers In Immunology] The authors reported that exposure to whole blood induced atypical chemokine receptor-1 (ACKR1) mRNA and protein expression in cultured primary human lung microvascular endothelial cells.

[Journal of Cell Biology] Researchers investigated the dynamics and the molecular mechanisms of lymphatic endothelial cell renewal in adult mesenteric quiescent lymphatic vasculature using label-retention, lineage tracing, and cell ablation strategies.

[iScience] Scientists showed that activation of the mechanosensitive channel Piezo1 by defined shear forces induced Ca2+ entry into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) via the ER Ca2+ ATPase pump.
