A role of stochastic phenotype switching in generating mosaic endothelial cell heterogeneity

Spontaneous phenotypic heterogeneity confers a population-level advantage to cells that are exposed to fluctuating environments. Here the authors show that the endothelium of some organs displays a dynamic mosaicism in expression of Von Willebrand factor, suggesting bet hedging as a strategy for ada...

description Spontaneous phenotypic heterogeneity confers a population-level advantage to cells that are exposed to fluctuating environments. Here the authors show that the endothelium of some organs displays a dynamic mosaicism in expression of Von Willebrand factor, suggesting bet hedging as a strategy for adaptive homeostasis.
