Abstract
Endothelial cells play a critical role in the adaptation of tissues to injury and show a remarkable plasticity. Here the authors show, using single cell sequencing, that endothelial cells acquire a transient mesenchymal state associated with metabolic adaptation after myocardial infarction.
