Their new paper shows that venous endothelial cells can help fix damaged blood vessels in the lungs. The researchers found ...

Researchers found that endothelial cells lining the veins in lungs contribute to repair of blood vessels after lung injury.

Then, postdoctoral fellow Gan Zhao led a study that found knocking out a certain vein-specifying transcription factor exacerbated lung injury and reduced proliferation of endothelial cells.
