Cells in focus: endothelial cell
The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 2002The endothelial cell is thought to arise from the splanchnopleuric mesoderm. Endothelial cells form the inner lining of a blood vessel and provides an anticoagulant barrier between the vessel wall and blood. In addition to its role as a selective permeability barrier, the endothelial cell is a unique multifunctional cell with critical basal and ...

Endothelial cells play a key role in the development and function of blood and lymph vessels. Excessive proliferation and transformation of endothelial cells lead to pathological angiogenesis/lymphangiogenesis or vascular malfunctions which are hallmarks of malignant disorders.

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 ...

Role of Endothelial Cell–Cell Junctions in Endothelial Permeability
2011The 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

Exercise and the endothelial cell
International Journal of Cardiology, 2005Regular 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,

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 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.

Journal of Cellular Physiology, 2003
AbstractEndothelial cells play a wide variety of critical roles in the control of vascular function. Indeed, since the early 1980s, the accumulating knowledge of the endothelial cell structure as well as of the functional properties of the endothelial cells shifted their role from a passive membrane or barrier to a complex tissue with complex functions

The discovery and subsequent characterization of endothelial precursor cells (EPCs) has stimulated interest in their potential use in older persons. Understanding the mechanisms that underlie EPC availability and function has important clinical implications for this age group.

Endothelial Cells and Inflammation
Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 1983Recent studies have brought remarkable progress in the understanding of cellular, subcellular, and molecular mechanisms of endothelial injury and responses to injury, both of which appear to be integral parts of the acute inflammatory response. The possible roles of endothelial surface enzymes in the inflammatory response are explored.
