Annotation rationales
Capillary endothelial cells form the thin microvascular exchange surface and adopt organ-specific transport and angiocrine programs.
Functional implications
They mediate oxygen, nutrient and metabolite exchange and regulate local perfusion, angiogenesis and tissue-cell support.
