The aging endothelium [PDF]

open access: yesVascular Biology, 2021
Cellular senescence is now recognized as one of the hallmarks of aging. Herein, we examine current findings on senescence of the vascular endothelium and its impacts on age-related vascular diseases.

Endothelium-Dependent Contractions

open access: yesBlood Vessels, 2008
The endothelial cells help to control the tone of the underlying vascular smooth muscle by releasing vasoactive factors. In physiological circumstances, the release of relaxing factors (nitric oxide and endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor) appears to predominate.

Transient heart rate reduction improves acute decompensated heart failure‐induced left ventricular and coronary dysfunction

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, 2021
Aims Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), a live‐threatening complication of heart failure (HF), associates a further decrease of the already by HF‐impaired cardiac function with an increase in heart rate.

Comparative study of the effects of cigarette smoke versus next generation tobacco and nicotine product extracts on endothelial function

open access: yesRedox Biology, 2021
Tobacco smoking and hemodynamic forces are key stimuli for the development of endothelial dysfunction. As an alternative to smoking, next generation tobacco and nicotine products (NGP) are now widely used.

The Endothelium in Sepsis [PDF]

open access: yesShock, 2016
Sepsis affects practically all aspects of endothelial cell (EC) function and is thought to be the key factor in the progression from sepsis to organ failure. Endothelial functions affected by sepsis include vasoregulation, barrier function, inflammation, and hemostasis.

Effects of PCSK9 Targeting: Alleviating Oxidation, Inflammation, and Atherosclerosis

open access: yesJournal 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.

The corneal endothelium [PDF]

open access: yesEye, 1990
The endothelium is a monolayer of cells on the posterior corneal surface that transports water from the stroma into the anterior chamber. This movement of water counters a natural tendency for the stroma to swell and is necessary to maintain a transparent cornea.

Endothelium-Dependent Vasodilation and Nitric Oxide Bioavailability in Premenopausal Females [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Endothelial function is an indicator and predictor of cardiovascular health. Mechanisms of endothelial function in premenopausal women remain unclear, including across hormonal state or phase, as well as in comparison with men. This dissertation includes

Differentiating Arteriolosclerotic Ulcers of Martorell from Other Types of Leg Ulcers Based on Vascular Histomorphology

open access: yesActa Dermato-Venereologica, 2021
Clinical differential diagnosis of arteriolosclerotic ulcers of Martorell is challenging due to the lack of clearly affirmative instrument-based diagnostic criteria.

YAP and the RhoC regulator ARHGAP18, are required to mediate flow-dependent endothelial cell alignment

open access: yesCell Communication and Signaling, 2020
Background Vascular endothelial cell alignment in the direction of flow is an adaptive response that protects against aortic diseases such as atherosclerosis. The RhoGTPases are known to regulate this alignment.
