Transforming Endothelium with Platelet‐Rich Plasma in Engineered Microvessels

Advanced Science, 2019
Vascularization remains an obstacle when engineering complex tissues for regeneration and disease modeling. Although progress has been made in recreating 3D vascular structures, challenges exist in generating a mature, functional endothelium.

Hypoxia, vascular smooth muscles and endothelium

Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2013
Hypoxia, or the lack of oxygen, has multiple impacts on the vascular system. The major molecular sensors for hypoxia at the cellular level are hypoxia inducible factor and heme oxygenase.

Ruthenium Complex Improves the Endothelial Function in Aortic Rings From Hypertensive Rats

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia
Background: The endothelium is a monolayer of cells that extends on the vascular inner surface, responsible for the modulation of vascular tone. By means of the release of nitric oxide (NO), the endothelium has an important protective function against ...

The endothelium and vascular inflammation in diabetes

Diabetes and Vascular Disease Research, 2007
The endothelium releases multiple mediators, not only regulators of vasomotor function but also important physiological and pathophysiological inflammatory mediators. Endothelial dysfunction is caused by chronic exposure to various stressors such as oxidative stress and modified low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, resulting in impaired nitric ...

Vascular function assessed by flow-mediated vasodilation and nitroglycerine-induced vasodilation in subjects with first-degree atrioventricular block

Scientific Reports
First-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

Endothelial dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes: the truth is in the blood

The Journal of Clinical Investigation
Endothelial dysfunction remains a cornerstone of diabetic vascular complications. RBCs emerge as pivotal players in endothelial dysfunction, yet the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. In this issue of the JCI, Collado et al.
