Double-Stranded RNA Attenuates the Barrier Function of Human Pulmonary Artery Endothelial Cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Circulating RNA may result from excessive cell damage or acute viral infection and can interact with vascular endothelial cells. Despite the obvious clinical implications associated with the presence of circulating RNA, its pathological effects on ...

Endothelial cell impact on smooth muscle cell properties: role of hemodynamic forces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The vascular endothelium is a dynamic cell monolayer located at the interface of the vessel wall and bloodstream, where it regulates the physiological effects of humoral and hemodynamic stimuli on vessel tone and remodelling.

VEGF guides angiogenic sprouting utilizing endothelial tip cell filopodia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF-A) is a major regulator of blood vessel formation and function. it controls several processes in endothelial cells, such as proliferation, survival, and migration, but it is not known how these are coordinately ...

Evaluation of the endothelium of the healthy equine cornea using a specular contact microscope [PDF]

open access: yesArquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia
The corneal endothelium is important for maintaining corneal transparency. This study aimed to obtain data on endothelial cell density and the percentage of hexagonal cells in different regions of the equine corneal endothelium using contact specular ...

Quantitative analysis of Weibel-Palade bodies.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
Weibel Palade bodies (WPBs) are vesicles found in endothelial cells which carry the multimeric protein von Willebrand factor (VWF). As cellular confluency has been shown to influence the number of WPBs in endothelial cells, we propose to test two methods

RETRACTED: Oxidized LDL Causes Endothelial Apoptosis by Inhibiting Mitochondrial Fusion and Mitochondria Autophagy

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced endothelial dysfunction is an initial step toward atherosclerosis development. Mitochondria damage correlates with ox-LDL-induced endothelial injury through an undefined mechanism. We explored the role of

Changes in corneal endothelial cell density after trabeculectomy

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Ophthalmology, 2023
Background Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness worldwide for which trabeculectomy is the most effective surgical intervention for advanced disease. However, trabeculectomy has been associated with alterations to corneal endothelium, including a decrease in corneal endothelial cell density (CECD).

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
