    FOXC2 Controls Adult Lymphatic Endothelial Specialization, Function, and Gut Lymphatic Barrier Preventing Multiorgan Failure

    Researchers reported that inactivation of the mechanosensitive transcription factor Foxc2 in adult lymphatic endothelium led to a stepwise intestine-to-lung systemic failure.

    Vascularization of Tissue Engineered Cartilage – Sequential In Vivo MRI Display Functional Blood Circulation

    Scientists investigated whether a gridded 3D bioprinted construct would allow ingrowth of blood vessels and thus proved a functional concept for vascularization of bioengineered tissue.

    Specialized Endothelial Tip Cells Guide Neuroretina Vascularization and Blood-Retina-Barrier Formation

    Endothelial deletion of TGF-β receptor I (Alk5) inhibited D-tip cell identity acquisition and deep vascular plexus formation. Loss of endothelial ALK5, but not of the canonical SMAD effectors, led to aberrant contractile pericyte differentiation and hemorrhagic vascular malformations.

    Novel Role of GPR35 (G-Protein–Coupled Receptor 35) in the Regulation of Endothelial Cell Function and Blood Pressure

    GPR35 is a poorly characterized receptor that has garnered increased interest as a therapeutic target through its implications in a range of inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases. Scientists evaluated the effect of GPR35 on endothelial cell functions and hemodynamic homeostasis.

    Ferrite-Encapsulated Nanoparticles with Stable Photothermal Performance for Multimodal Imaging-Guided Atherosclerotic Plaque Neovascularization Therapy

    In vitro experiments revealed that perfluorohexane @polylactic acid-glycolic acid/ manganese ferrite 4-ramucirumab nanoparticles (NPs) actively accumulated in rabbit aortic endothelial cells, and NP-mediated photothermal therapy promoted endothelial cell apoptosis while inhibiting their proliferation, migration, and tubulogenesis.

    FOXA1 Promotes Prostate Cancer Angiogenesis by Inducing Multiple Pro-Angiogenic Factors Expression

    Researchers investigated the role of FOXA1 in the interactions between prostate cancer cells and endothelial cells.

    Abstract

    Proteomic Signature of Dysfunctional Circulating Endothelial Colony‐Forming Cells of Young Adults

    The authors provided a detailed proteomic comparison between functional and dysfunctional endothelial colony‐forming cells.

    Single-Cell Transcriptomic Profile of Human Pulmonary Artery Endothelial Cells in Health and Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

    Single-cell RNA sequencing technology was used to decipher the cellular heterogeneity among pulmonary arterial endothelial cells in the human pulmonary arteries isolated from explanted lungs from three patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension undergoing lung transplantation and three healthy donor lungs not utilized for transplantation.

    Dynamic Flow Priming Programs Allow Tuning Up the Cell Layers Properties for Engineered Vascular Graft

    Researchers proposed a novel method to create three-layered tissue engineered vascular grafts on biocompatible glass fiber scaffolds starting from flat sheet state into tubular shape and to train the resulting tissue using their developed bioreactor system.

    SIRT6 Inhibits Inflammatory Response through Regulation of NRF2 in Vascular Endothelial Cells

    Scientists showed that TNF-α significantly reduced the expression of sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) protein and mRNA in a concentration- and time-dependent manner and increased the expression of monocyte chemotactic protein 1, interleukin (IL) -6 and IL-1β in HUVECs.

    Simulation of the Process of Angiogenesis: Quantification and Assessment of Vascular Patterning in the Chicken Chorioallantoic Membrane

    The authors proposed a meshless-based model capable of mimicking the angiogenic response to several VEGF concentrations.

    AbstractGraphical Abstract

    Involvement of the Tim-3 Pathway in the Pathogenesis of Pre-Eclampsia

    Using a tube formation assay between HTR8/SVneo cells and HUVECs, scientists found that T cell immunoglobulin mucin-3 (Tim-3) pathway blockade inhibited tube formation and reversed by addition of recombinant IL-4 and/or IL-10.

    Endothelial Cell Dysfunction: A Key Determinant for the Outcome of Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation

    The authors delineate the role of the endothelium in severe complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and describe the current status of search for biomarkers predicting endothelial complications, including markers of endothelial vulnerability and markers of endothelial injury.
