Endth.Art.EnTCs
Endothelial tip cells are specialized cells characterized by long filipodia, present at the leading edge of vascular sprouts. The filopodia integrate directional cues from their environment.

Endothelial tip cells function as neuronal axons. They sense signal gradients and contact the extracellular matrix.
