Blood vessels define the properties of local microenvironments in the skeletal system, play crucial roles in osteogenesis and provide niches for haematopoietic stem cells. The properties of niche-forming vessels and their changes in the ageing organism remain incompletely understood. We have previously identified a new capillary subtype in the murine skeletal system with distinct morphological, molecular and functional properties. These vessels are CD31hi/Emcnh...
