IGF2BP3 and neoplasm: Functional assays including EdU proliferation, tube formation, and Western blot were conducted to validate the role of IGF2BP3 in tumor-associated endothelial cells.<h4>Results</h4>We identified a distinct MVI-associated endothelial subpopulation (MVI Endo) enriched in pro-angiogenic, EMT-like, and TGF-β-responsive pathways, predominantly localized near tumor vasculature.
