Vascular differentiation
FY 2018-19
Summary
During the development of blood vessels in the embryo some of the blood vessel lining cells, called hemogenic endothelial cells, become blood stem cells, which then create the circulating blood system. However, the majority of the endothelial cells remain as lining cells and help to sculpt the final stable blood vessel system. Little is known about how endothelial cells choose to become blood cells or remain as endothelial cells. Even less is known about how these different kinds of endothelial cells support each other to create properly functioning blood and blood vessel systems.

Abstract
During the development of blood vessels in the embryo some of the blood vessel lining cells, called hemogenic endothelial cells, become blood stem cells, which then create the circulating blood system. However, the majority of the endothelial cells remain as lining cells and help to sculpt the final stable blood vessel system. Little is known about how endothelial cells choose to become blood cells or remain as endothelial cells. Even less is known about how these different kinds of endothelial cells support each other to create properly functioning blood and blood vessel systems.
