Endothelial cells perform a variety of essential functions in the body. One of the primary functions of endothelium is to act as a semi-permeable barrier between body fluids (blood and lymph) and the organs and tissues of the body.
Abstract During embryonic development, endothelial cells differentiate from a common precursor called angioblast and acquire organ-specific properties. One of the important determinants of endothelial cell differentiation is the local environment, and especially the interaction with surrounding cells.ne of the major limitations to the study of endothelial cell heterogeneity is the fact that these cells are still difficult to isolate and culture from the microcirculation of different organs, and once in culture, they tend to lose their specialized properties.
