Vascular endothelial cells form the inner layer of blood vessels where they have a key role in the development and maintenance of the functional circulatory system and provide paracrine support to surrounding non-vascular cells. Technical advances in the past 5 years in single-cell genomics and in in vivo genetic labelling have facilitated greater insights into endothelial cell development, plasticity and heterogeneity. These advances have also contributed to a new understanding of the timing of endothelial cell subtype differentiation and its relationship to the cell cycle. Identification of novel tissue-specific gene expression patterns in endothelial cells has led to the discovery of crucial signalling pathways and new interactions with other cell types that have key roles in both tissue maintenance and disease pathology. In this Review, we describe the latest findings in vascular endothelial cell development and diversity, which are often supported by large-scale, single-cell studies, and discuss the implications of these findings for vascular medicine. In addition, we highlight how techniques such as single-cell multimodal omics, which have become increasingly sophisticated over the past 2 years, are being utilized to study normal vascular physiology as well as functional perturbations in disease. Advances in single-cell RNA sequencing technologies in the past 5 years have led to a greater understanding of endothelial cell development and heterogeneity. In this Review, Red-Horse and Trimm discuss the most up-to-date research on vascular endothelial cell development and diversity, and highlight the latest findings on organ-specific endothelial cells in the heart, brain, lungs, kidneys and liver. Artery differentiation is coupled to cell cycle arrest, and new arteries expand during development by recruiting endothelial cells from capillaries and veins. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data and multimodal omics atlases provide insights into the heterogeneity of endothelial cells across tissues, as well as conserved transcription codes during development. Novel methods of endothelial cell lineage tracing combined with scRNA-seq has facilitated the identification of functionally distinct capillary populations in the lung, liver and kidney, as well as their transcriptional response to disease. Capillary zonation, or the gradual phenotypic continuum of endothelial cells along an axis, has been identified in multiple organs including the brain, heart and liver, and communication between endothelial cells and mural cells has a key role in maintaining capillary zonation and important structures such as the blood–brain barrier. Comparison of scRNA-seq atlases from humans and mice reveals that endothelial cell populations are largely conserved between species across multiple organs and that although unique species-specific gene expression patterns exist for endothelial subtypes, the high degree of similarity between species demonstrates the utility of mice as a model organism for vascular biology. Advances in bioengineering have led to the creation of organoids with increasingly functional vasculature; key insights from single-cell studies are expected to facilitate improved differentiation protocols for human pluripotent stem cells as well as the in vitro development of organ-specific vasculature.
