BEMOSAIC Decoding endothelial cell BEhavioral MOSAICism within single vessels

Coordinator: FUNDACIO INSTITUT DE RECERCA CONTRA LA LEUCEMIA JOSEP CARRERAS (ES)

Endothelial cells (ECs) form a dynamic monolayer lining the lumen of vessels. While single-cell data have revealed high degrees of heterogeneity amongst ECs at the inter- and intra-organ levels, the prevailing notion has long been that vessels themselves are composed of largely similar ECs. Instead, data from our labs challenge this view by showing that vessels are built of highly diverse ECs displaying different behavioral properties, a feature we term intravessel EC behavioral mosaicism. While these findings are promising, there is still much to learn about the range of behavioral variabili…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

EU contribution: €10.6M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 6 years from 2025-07-01 to 2031-06-30.
