Linking endothelial dysfunction with endothelial cell activation [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2013
The thin layer of cells that lines the interior of blood vessels, known as the endothelium, plays a complex role in vascular biology. The endothelium mediates blood vessel tone, hemostasis, neutrophil recruitment, hormone trafficking, and fluid filtration.

Scaffold‐Free Living Cellular Structure With Omnidirectional Architectures

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Hydrogel lumen confinement enables the direct formation of mechanically stable, scaffold‐free cellular filaments under entirely aqueous, phototoxicity‐free conditions. These processable living building blocks support omnidirectional assembly into complex three‐dimensional architectures, providing a simple and versatile platform for scaffold‐free ...

Endothelialization of sirolimus-eluting stents with slow and extended drug release in the porcine overstretch model

, 2008
BACKGROUND: Vascular healing of intracoronary stents has been shown to be delayed in drug-eluting stents (DES) due to the cytotoxic compounds on the stent surface that prevent stent ingrowth and endothelialization. The lack of endothelialization explains

Silk Fibroin for Cardiovascular Medical Devices: Review of Material Properties, Applications, and Clinical Potential

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Silk fibroin is an attractive natural biomaterial that can be engineered into diverse cardiovascular constructs, including vascular grafts, cardiac patches, heart valves, and stent coatings. Its tunable biological and mechanical properties have driven substantial preclinical progress; however, widespread clinical translation in cardiovascular ...

Comparison of Vascular Responses Following New‐Generation Biodegradable and Durable Polymer‐Based Drug‐Eluting Stent Implantation in an Atherosclerotic Rabbit Iliac Artery Model

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundIncomplete endothelialization is the primary substrate of late stent thrombosis; however, recent reports have revealed that abnormal vascular responses are also responsible for the occurrence of late stent failure.

Titanium dioxide nanotubes promote M2 polarization by inhibiting macrophage glycolysis and ultimately accelerate endothelialization

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, 2021
Titanium has been widely used in prosthetic valves, but they are associated with serious defects in titanium‐based prosthetic valves, such as thrombosis, calcification, and decay.

Hyperbranched poly‐L‐lysine surface‐engineered bioprosthetic heart valves with anti‐calcification, anti‐infection, and durability

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The challenges of bioprosthetic heart valves (BHV) with respect to calcification, infection, and poor durability are tackled by surface engineering of hyperbranched poly‐L‐lysine (HBPL), providing a translational solution to improve long‐term valve performance.

Epithelial-endothelial transition and endothelial-mesenchymal transition

The International Journal of Developmental Biology, 2022
The movement of continuous sheets of epithelial cells occurs during embryonic development, tissue repair, and cancer. Common to cellular and molecular principles of collective cell migration, invading cancers seem to reactivate embryonic pathways and patterns of cell movement.

Drug‐Coated Balloon‐Based Strategy for De Novo Coronary Artery Disease Across Complex and High‐Risk Indicated Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Risk Categories: A Multicenter Registry Study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Evidence regarding the risk‐stratified effectiveness of drug‐coated balloon (DCB)‐based PCI for de novo coronary artery disease (CAD) remains limited, particularly in patients undergoing complex and high‐risk indicated percutaneous coronary intervention (CHIP PCI).

Who watches the WATCHMAN™? A case of incomplete endothelialization at 3 years after device implantation

, 2019
WATCHMAN (TM) is a left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion device used to prevent thromboembolism in patients with atrial fibrillation. Endothelialization of the device is required to completely occlude the LAA.
