The development and differentiation of endothelial cells (ECs) are fundamental processes with significant implications for both health and disease. ECs, which are found in all organs and blood vessels, play a crucial role in facilitating nutrient and waste exchange and maintaining proper vessel function. Understanding the intricate signaling pathways involved in EC development holds great promise for enhancing vascularization, tissue engineering, and vascular regeneration. Hematopoietic stem cells originating from hemogenic ECs, give rise to diverse immune cell populations, and the interaction between ECs and immune cells is vital for maintaining vascular integrity and regulating immune responses. Dysregulation of vascular development pathways can lead to various diseases, including cancer, where tumor-specific ECs promote tumor growth through angiogenesis. Recent advancements in single-cell genomics and in vivo genetic labeling have shed light on EC development, plasticity, and heterogeneity, uncovering tissue-specific gene expression and crucial signaling pathways. This review explores the potential of ECs in various applications, presenting novel opportunities for advancing vascular medicine and treatment strategies.

This study was carried out to obtain basic information for possibility of oral vaccine in carrot using Agrobacteruim -mediated transformation system. The epitope region of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) spike gene which is classified as a member of the Coronaviridae and causes an acute enteritis in pigs was successfully expressed in carrot (Daucus carota) using the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system. Hypocotyl segments of in vitro germinated plantlets were infected with Agrobacteriun tumefaciens LBA 4404 harboring PEDV spike gene. Embryogenic callus (EC) was induced on MS selection medium with 1 mg/L 2,4-D, 50 mg/L kanamycin and 300 mg/L cefotaxime after 45 days of culture. Subcultured ECs on MS selection medium without 2,4-D were converted to somatic embryos (SE) of various stage; globular, heart and torpedo stage. Putative transgenic embryos were selected on MS medium with 50 mg/L kanamycin and 300 mg/L cefotaxime. Regenerated plantlets from transformed SE were induced on MS medium containing 50 mg/L kanamycin after 30 days of culture. Genomic PCR confirmed the integration of PEDV spike gene into nuclear genome of carrot and northern blot analysis demonstrated the expression of PEDV spike gene in transgenic carrot.
