Abstract:BackgroundThe plasticity of endothelial cells (ECs) is crucial for tissue response to injury. Myocardial infarction can profoundly affect EC function, leading to a shift toward mesenchymal differentiation.MethodsWe utilized human single‐nucleus RNA sequencing data to investigate the dynamic changes and cellular interactions between normal and post‐infarction ECs.ResultsWe identified two distinct subpopulations of ECs: A transient subpopulation characterized by short‐term mesenchymal gene expression and a long‐… Show more
