Biomarkers of endothelial activation and dysfunction in cardiovascular diseases [PDF]
Endothelial activation and dysfunction is an important contributor to atherosclerosis, cardiovascular diseases and cardiorenal syndrome. Endothelial dysfunction is also linked with metabolic syndrome and type II diabetes.

YAP Controls Endothelial Activation and Vascular Inflammation Through TRAF6
Rationale: Microvascular inflammation and endothelial dysfunction secondary to unchecked activation of endothelium play a critical role in the pathophysiology of sepsis and organ failure.

Extracellular Matrix and Endothelial Activation Markers in the Bronchial and Pulmonary Arteries in COPD [PDF]
Background Vascular alterations contribute significantly to the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) pathophysiology. Thirty‐nine percent of patients with COPD develop pulmonary hypertension, especially patients with the severe form of the ...

Cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLT) are potent vascular leakage-promoting agents but have been scarcely explored in human septic shock (SS). We evaluated CysLT at admission and during hospitalization and their correlation with endothelial dysfunction ...

BackgroundThe deSUMOylase sentrin-specific isopeptidase 2 (SENP2) plays a crucial role in atheroprotection. However, the phosphorylation of SENP2 at T368 under disturbed flow (D-flow) conditions hinders its nuclear function and promotes endothelial cell (

Endothelial Activation and Microcirculatory Disorders in Sepsis
The vascular endothelium is crucial for the maintenance of vascular homeostasis. Moreover, in sepsis, endothelial cells can acquire new properties and actively participate in the host's response.
