| Skin wound analysis from Sox9 conditional knock-out mice demonstrated a significant reduction in pathological endothelial to mesenchymal transition (EndMT) resulting in reduced scar area. The converse was observed with Rbpj conditionally knocked-out from the murine vasculature or inhibition of Notch signaling in human endothelial colony forming cells, resulting in enhanced Sox9 and EndMT related gene [Nature Communications] |

|
| Researchers identified trafficking pathways that regulated collagen type IV (Col IV) deposition during angiogenic blood vessel development. They identified the GTPase Rab10 as a major regulator of Col IV vesicular trafficking during vascular development using both in vitro imaging and biochemistry as well as in vivo models.

|
| Scientists measured the susceptibility to infection, immune response, and expression of adhesion molecules, in human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells exposed to conditioned medium from infected epithelial cells. [Clinical Infectious Diseases] |

| Investigators designed supramolecular nanofibers self-assembled by compound 1, which could strongly activate the hepatocyte growth factor precursor and initiate hepatocyte growth factor–Met signaling. [ACS Applied Materials & interfaces] |

|
| Estrogen receptor α (ERα) can oppose mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) function, therefore, scientists hypothesized that ERα mediated the benefits of endothelial MR deficiency. [Hypertension] |

|
| Researchers outlined a simple new technique of isolating mouse BMEC primary culture and a suitable method to evaluate the function and dysregulation of BMEC in in vitro studies using mouse models. [Stem Cell Research & Therapy] |

|
| The authors found that intra‐articular injection of baicalein ameliorated subchondral bone remodeling. Baicalein impaired angiogenesis of endothelial cells and inhibited proliferation of synovial cells. [Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine] |

|
| Scientists showed that obesity led to neutrophil-dependent impairment of vascular integrity through loss of endothelial adhesions, enabling cancer cell extravasation into the lung. [Nature Cancer] |

|
|
| Investigators found that cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil could induce fibroblast differentiation toward myofibroblasts via CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein delta and consequently promoted proliferation, migration, and in vitro tube formation of vascular endothelial cells and angiogenesis in vivo.

|
| Scientists discuss how the synergy between inflammation and thrombosis drives thrombotic diseases. They focus on the huge potential of anti-inflammatory strategies to target cardiovascular pathologies. [Nature Reviews Cardiology] |

|
| The authors highlight the phenotype and function of high endothelial venules (HEVs) in homeostatic, inflamed and tumor-draining lymph nodes, and those of HEV-like blood vessels in chronic inflammatory diseases. [Angiogenesis] |

| AbCellera and Angios GmbH announced that they have entered into a multi-year, multi-target collaboration to facilitate the discovery of monoclonal and bispecific antibodies for vascular diseases of the eye. [AbCellera (BusinessWire, Inc)] |
