Adult vascular endothelial stem cells are shown to reside in the blood vessel wall endothelium. When isolated, these cells are capable of clonal expansion and generate functional blood vessels in vivo.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
