The vascular endothelium [PDF]
Anales de la Facultad de Medicina, 2014 Over the last 40 years, research on the vascular endothelium has provided important clues for the understanding of vascular disease. This new knowledge is finding its way into clinical medicine.

Vascular function assessed by flow-mediated vasodilation and nitroglycerine-induced vasodilation in subjects with first-degree atrioventricular block. [PDF]
Sci RepFirst-degree atrioventricular block (AVB) is a common electrocardiogram finding in clinical practice. Vascular dysfunction is associated with cardiovascular disease and events. There is no information on the association of AVB with vascular function. The

Contributions of the Endothelium to Vascular Calcification [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Vascular calcification (VC) increases morbidity and mortality and constitutes a significant obstacle during percutaneous interventions and surgeries. On a cellular and molecular level, VC is a highly regulated process that involves abnormal cell transitions and osteogenic differentiation, re-purposing of signaling pathways normally used in bone, and ...

Effects of PCSK9 Targeting: Alleviating Oxidation, Inflammation, and Atherosclerosis
Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022 Characterized as a chronic inflammatory disease of the large arteries, atherosclerosis is the primary cause of cardiovascular disease, the leading contributor of morbidity and mortality worldwide.

Nanomechanics of vascular endothelium [PDF]
Cell and Tissue Research, 2014 The mechanical characteristics of endothelial cells reveal four distinct compartments, namely glycocalyx, cell cortex, cytoplasm and nucleus. There is accumulating evidence that endothelial nanomechanics of these individual compartments control vascular physiology.

Nanoparticles for Multimodal Antivascular Therapeutics: Dual Drug Release, Photothermal and Photodynamic Therapy [PDF]
Acta Biomaterialia 101, 459-468 (2019), 2021 The poor delivery of nanoparticles to target cancer cells hinders their success in the clinical setting. In this work, an alternative target readily available for circulating nanoparticles has been selected to eliminate the need for nanoparticle penetration in the tissue: the tumor blood vessels.

Reproducibility and research integrity: the role of scientists and institutions
BMC Research Notes, 2021 Reproducibility and research integrity are essential tenets of every scientific study and discovery. They serve as proof that an established and documented work can be verified, repeated, and reproduced.
