    Suppression of angiopoietin-like 4 reprograms endothelial cell metabolism and inhibits angiogenesis

    Angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) is known to regulate various cellular and systemic functions. However, its cell-specific role in endothelial cells (ECs) function and metabolic homeostasis remains to be elucidate...
