“…While live imaging of trunk vascular formation in zebrafish has pioneered our understanding of EC dynamics during development, studies in other vascular beds, particularly late forming vessels have been limited. Recent work has uncovered unique cellular and molecular mechanisms required for development of intestinal vessels (Hen et al, 2015;Goi and Childs, 2016;Koenig et al, 2016), coronary vessels (Harrison et al, 2015;Ivins et al, 2015;Gancz et al, 2019;Harrison et al, 2019;Vivien et al, 2019), caudal vessels (Fukuhara et al, 2014;Goetz et al, 2014;Karthik et al, 2018) and the CCV (Helker et al, 2013) among others. Here, we highlight a few recent studies revealing heterogeneity in cellular mechanisms.…”
