SUMMARY After birth, tissues grow continuously until reaching adult size, with each organ exhibiting unique cellular dynamics, growth patterns, and (stem or non-stem) cell sources. Using a suite of experimental computational multiscale approaches, we found that aortic expansion is guided by specific biological principles scales the vertebral column rather than animal body weight. Expansion proceeds via two distinct waves arterial proliferation along blood flow are spatially stochastic, yet temporally coordinated. Each wave exhibits cycle kinetics properties, first durations as fast 6 hours. Single-cell RNA sequencing showed changes in fatty acid metabolism concomitant an increase size. Mathematical modeling experiments indicated endothelial extrusion essential for homeostatic balancing excess proliferation. In genetic model achondroplasia, aorta achieves proper scaling through enhanced while maintaining normal dynamics. Collectively, these results provide blueprint orchestrate which depends entirely on differentiated resident stem cells.
