Endothelium lining the cardiovascular system is highly sensitive to hemodynamic shear stresses that act at the vessel luminal surface in the direction of blood flow. Physiological variations of shear ...

We address the mechanisms underlying generation of skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and endothelium from epithelial progenitors in the dermomyotome. Lineage analysis shows that of all epithelial ...

New York, NY - Aggressive control of hyperglycemia can improve outcomes among patients in the surgical intensive care unit (ICU) setting by protecting the endothelium, according to new research [ 1].

One of the striking features of vascular endothelium, the single-cell-thick lining of the cardiovascular system, is its phenotypic plasticity. Various pathophysiologic factors, such as cytokines, ...

The field of endothelial injury syndromes has undergone a significant transformation in recent decades. Initially perceived ...

BOSTON – The endothelium, the cellular layer lining the body's blood vessels, is extremely resilient. Measuring just a few hundred nanometers in thickness, this super-tenuous structure routinely ...

Short-term effects of rapid IOP spikes on corneal endothelium were “tolerable” after intravitreal bevacizumab injection, according to a study. Researchers prospectively evaluated the effects on ...

According to the statistics from World Health Organization (WHO), cardiovascular disease has become the leading cause of death worldwide, inducing almost 1/3 of death each year. Owing to its ...

Platelets help to maintain blood circulation by controlling hemorrhage after an injury to the blood-vessel wall that causes physical or biochemical disruption of the endothelium. The development of an ...

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the pathogen that causes the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), contains the spike protein that binds with the human ...
