Insights Into the Mechanisms of Brain Endothelial Erythrophagocytosis
The endothelial cells which form the inner cellular lining of the vasculature can act as non-professional phagocytes to ingest and remove emboli and aged/injured red blood cells (RBCs) from circulation.

Wnt activation of immortalized brain endothelial cells as a tool for generating a standardized model of the blood brain barrier in vitro [PDF]
Reproducing the characteristics and the functional responses of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) in vitro represents an important task for the research community, and would be a critical biotechnological breakthrough.

Phosphatidylcholine synthesis and remodeling in brain endothelial cells. [PDF]
Mammalian cells synthesize hundreds of different variants of their prominent membrane lipid phosphatidylcholine (PC), all differing in the side chain composition. This batch is constantly remodeled by the Lands cycle, a metabolic pathway replacing one chain at a time.

Brain endothelial miR-146a negatively modulates T-cell adhesion through repressing multiple targets to inhibit NF-κB activation. [PDF]
Pro-inflammatory cytokine-induced activation of nuclear factor, NF-κB has an important role in leukocyte adhesion to, and subsequent migration across, brain endothelial cells (BECs), which is crucial for the development of neuroinflammatory disorders ...

Cells with Many Talents: Lymphatic Endothelial Cells in the Brain Meninges [PDF]
The lymphatic system serves key functions in maintaining fluid homeostasis, the uptake of dietary fats in the small intestine, and the trafficking of immune cells. Almost all vascularized peripheral tissues and organs contain lymphatic vessels. The brain parenchyma, however, is considered immune privileged and devoid of lymphatic structures.

Wnt/beta-catenin signaling controls development of the blood–brain barrier [PDF]
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is confined to the endothelium of brain capillaries and is indispensable for fluid homeostasis and neuronal function. In this study, we show that endothelial Wnt/beta-catenin (beta-cat) signaling regulates induction and ...

Cultured Vascular Endothelial Cells of the Brain.
The endothelium is a single-cell lining the blood vessels and represents an interface between blood and tissue. It acts as a selective permeability barrier, regulates coagulation and contributes to the behaviour of cells both in the circulation and in the vessel wall. Because of its location, one of the most important function of the endothelium is the
