Cellular markers of endothelial cell proliferation help identify the vasculature of tumours in homeostasis. Here, the authors report Apelin-based synthetic Notch (synNotch) receptors that can target Apj expressed on endothelium and stimulate the synNotch pathways upon Apj binding, and suggest this as a strategy to treat solid tumours.
