Background: Small artery remodeling and endothelial dysfunction are hallmarks of hypertension. Evidence supports a likely causal association between cardiovascular diseases and endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition, a cellular transdifferentiation process in which endothelial cells (ECs) partially lose their identity and acquire mesenchymal phenotypes. EC reprogramming represents an innovative strategy in regenerative medicine to prevent deleterious effects induced by cardiovascular diseases.
