Single-cell transcriptomic profiling of microvascular endothelial cell heterogeneity in congenital diaphragmatic hernia

Jason O. Robertson, Peter Bazeley, Serpil C. Erzurum, Kewal AsosinghCleveland Clinic.United States Scientific ReportsSci Rep 2023; 13DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-37050-y AbstractCongenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a neonatal anomaly that includes pulmonary hypoplasia and hypertension. We hypothesized that microvascular endothelial cell (EC) heterogeneity is different in CDH lungs and related to lung underdevelopment and remodeling. To test this, we […]
