Role of Endothelial Cell–Cell Junctions in Endothelial Permeability

2011
The endothelial barrier separates the inner blood compartment from the surrounding tissues. At the molecular level, adhesion molecules accumulate at the endothelial cell-cell junction and contribute to maintain vascular integrity. An increase in the endothelial permeability is frequently associated with the deregulation of junctional adhesion. Here, we

Endothelial Cell Senescence

2006
The wear and tear processes that are thought to contribute to human ageing may play an important role in the development of vascular diseases. One such process is cellular senescence. In endothelial cells the senescent phenotype can be induced by a number of factors, including telomere damage, oxidative stress and sustained mitogenic stimulation ...

Endothelial Progenitor Cells

Endothelium, 2006
The identification of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) has prompted an explosion of interest in postnatal vasculogenesis and the role of this mechanism in human health and disease. Previously considered restricted to the embryonic phase, the differentiation in situ of progenitor cells to vascular endothelium is now known to occur in the ...

Endothelial Progenitor Cells

Annual Review of Medicine, 2005
Endothelial progenitor cells are a circulating, bone marrow–derived cell population that appears to participate in both vasculogenesis and vascular homeostasis. Questions persist regarding their functional characteristics, as well as the precise panel of cell surface markers that uniquely define this newly described progenitor cell population.

Endothelial Cells

2017
Endothelial cells are a constitutive part of the heart and vasculature and form a crucial link between the cardiovascular system and the immune system. Besides their commonly accepted roles in angiogenesis, hemostasis, and the regulation of vascular tone, they are an essential and active component of immune responses.

Cell biology of endothelial cells

Human Pathology, 1987
Endothelial cells are a source of physiologically important molecules synthesized therein and secreted to the blood and/or to the subendothelial extracellular matrix. These molecules participate in formation of platelet and fibrin thrombi (e.g., von Willebrand factor and tissue factor) and contribute to antithrombotic properties of the endothelium (e.g.

Endothelial cell tumors

Microscopy Research and Technique, 2003
AbstractHistorically, there has been much debate on the nature of infantile hemangiomas as either congenital malformations or benign neoplasms. Some vascular lesions that are present at birth and evidence no proliferative growth are considered to be congenital malformations; other post‐natal vascular tumors pursue aggressive and possibly lethal ...

The Proteome of Endothelial Cells

2006
Endothelial cells form a continuous monolayer lining the inside face of all blood vessels, and present the ability to selectively control vascular permeability. The endothelium is involved in a wide variety of normal physiological and pathological processes.

Exercise and the endothelial cell

International Journal of Cardiology, 2005
Regular exercise is known to be effective in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Among the cardioprotectant mechanisms influenced by exercise, the endothelium is becoming recognised as a major target. Preservation of endothelial cell structure is vital for frictionless blood flow, prevention of macrophage and lipid infiltration and,

Immunophysiology of endothelial cells

Human Physiology, 2006
Endothelial cells of the vascular inner lining, in addition to their barrier functions, play certain regulatory roles. They regulate the blood flow, selective permeability of the vascular walls, blood fluidity, hemostasis, and angiogenesis. Regulation of these physiological functions is mediated by the production of vasoactive molecules and cytokines ...
