Surface modification of hydrophobic polymers for improvement of endothelial cell-surface interactions [PDF]
, 1992 The aim of this study is to improve the interaction of endothelial cells with polymers used in vascular prostheses. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE; Teflon) films were treated by means of nitrogen and oxygen plasmas.

Does erythropoietin therapy affect circulating endothelial cells in hemodialysis patients?
Український Журнал Нефрології та Діалізу, 2020 Anemia is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The most common cause of anemia in CKD is erythropoietin deficiency; and the most important cause of mortality in CKD patients is atherosclerotic vascular complications which are ...

Single and fractionated ionizing radiation induce alterations in endothelial connexin expression and channel function [PDF]
, 2019 Radiotherapy is an effective treatment for most tumor types. However, emerging evidence indicates an increased risk for atherosclerosis after ionizing radiation exposure, initiated by endothelial cell dysfunction. Interestingly, endothelial cells express

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2011 The vascular endothelium is a dynamic cellular “organ” that controls passage of nutrients into tissues, maintains the flow of blood, and regulates the trafficking of leukocytes. In tumors, factors such as hypoxia and chronic growth factor stimulation result in endothelial dysfunction.
