Endothelial Cell Signaling and Endothelial Dysfunction
American Journal of Hypertension, 1995Endothelial cells have an important protective role in maintaining the normal physiologic function of the vascular wall. When these cells become dysfunctional, they lose this protective influence and they actively promote pathophysiological changes within the blood vessel. This review will discuss some of the extracellular signaling mechanisms employed

An Endothelial Cell Is Not Simply an Endothelial Cell
Stem Cells and DevelopmentEndothelial cells (ECs) are a multifaceted component of the vascular system with roles in immunity, maintaining tissue fluid balance, and vascular tone. Dysregulation or dysfunction of ECs can have far-reaching implications, leading pathologies ranging from cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension and atherosclerosis, ischemia, chronic kidney ...

Endothelial cell‐to‐cell junctions
The FASEB Journal, 1995The endothelium forms the main barrier to the passage of macromolecules and circulating cells from blood to tissues. Endothelial permeability is in large part regulated by intercellular junctions. These are complex structures formed by transmembrane adhesive molecules linked to a network of cytoplasmic/cytoskeletal proteins.

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 ...

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.
