The higher functions of cardiovascular tissues are maintained not only by cardiomyocytes but also by their close interactions with diverse supporting cell types, including fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and macrophages. This symposium will present the latest findings on the contribution of multicellular interactions to the maintenance and remodeling of structural and functional homeostasis in cardiovascular tissues, as well as on higher-order regulatory mechanisms governing the induction of angiogenesis in response to environmental signals. Building on these insights, we will integrate current knowledge of the roles of individual cell types within cardiovascular tissues and discuss potential medical applications.
