Scientists have discovered a method to induce human endothelial cells from a small biopsy sample to multiply in the laboratory, producing more than enough cells to replace damaged blood vessels or nourish organs for transplantation, according to a preclinical study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.

Endothelial cells with a distinct gene-expression signature play a key role in the development and repair of blood vessels throughout life, according to a new study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.
