Markers and Biomarkers of Endothelium: When Something Is Rotten in the State
Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 Endothelium is a community of endothelial cells (ECs), which line the blood and lymphatic vessels, thus forming an interface between the tissues and the blood or lympha. This strategic position of endothelium infers its indispensable functional role in controlling vasoregulation, haemostasis, and inflammation. The state of endothelium is simultaneously
