Vascular device interaction with the endothelium [PDF]

open access: yesBiomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 2008
Copyright @ 2008 Elsevier. This is the post-print version of the article.Cerebral stents and Intra Aortic Balloon Pumps (IABP) are examples of mechanical devices that are inserted into arteries to restore flows to clinically healthy states. The stent and

Contributions of the Endothelium to Vascular Calcification [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Nanomechanics of vascular endothelium [PDF]

open access: yesCell 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.

The Vascular Endothelium [PDF]

open access: yesAnales 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. In this review we deal with some areas where significant advances in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular research has been achieved and with some of

Microvascular alterations in hypertension and vascular aging [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Hypertension and aging are characterized by vascular remodelling and stiffness as well as endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial function declines with age, since aging is associated with senescence of the endothelium due to increased rate of apoptosis and

The vascular bone marrow niche influences outcome in chronic myeloid leukemia via the E-selectin - SCL/TAL1-CD44 axis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The endosteal bone marrow niche and vascular endothelial cells provide sanctuaries for leukemic cells. In murine chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) CD44 on leukemia cells and E-selectin on bone marrow endothelium are essential mediators for the engraftment ...

Malaria and Vascular Endothelium

open access: yesArquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2014
Involvement of the cardiovascular system in patients with infectious and parasitic diseases can result from both intrinsic mechanisms of the disease and drug intervention. Malaria is an example, considering that the endothelial injury by Plasmodium-infected erythrocytes can cause circulatory disorders.

Interaction between anandamide and sphingosine-1-phosphate in mediating vasorelaxation in rat coronary artery [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
<b>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE</b> Anandamide and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) both regulate vascular tone in a variety of vessels. This study aimed to examine the mechanisms involved in the regulation of coronary vascular tone by anandamide and ...

Endothelial dysfunction and vascular disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The endothelium can evoke relaxations (dilatations) of the underlying vascular smooth muscle, by releasing vasodilator substances. The best characterized endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) is nitric oxide (NO).

Functional Vascular Endothelium Derived from Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Summary Vascular endothelium is a dynamic cellular interface that displays a unique phenotypic plasticity. This plasticity is critical for vascular function and when dysregulated is pathogenic in several diseases.
