Endothelium and nitric oxide [PDF]

open access: yesMedicina, 2008
Studied nature of the “blood vessels relaxing factor” derived fromendotheliumthat was identified as nitric oxide caused intensive scientific research on nitric oxide regarding some aspects of its impact on human physiological and pathological processes.

Effects of Local Concentration Gradients of Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 (MCP-1) on Monocytes Adhesion and Transendothelial Migration in a Three-Dimensional (3D) In Vitro Vascular Tissue Model [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
Objective: The main objective of this study was to investigate the formation of MCP-1 concentration gradients within the subendothelial ECM and determine the effect on monocytes migration in response to inflammation. To meet this objective, monocytes migration in a 3D vascular tissue model, containing a matrix where concentration gradients may form ...

Vascular journey and adhesion mechanics of micro-sized carriers in narrow capillaries [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
In this work a Lattice Boltzmann Immersed Boundary method is used for predicting the dynamics of rigid and deformable adhesive micro carriers (1 um) navigating a capillary by the size of 10 um with 20% hematocrit. Red cells and particles are modeled as a collection of mass spring elements responding to a bending potential, an elastic potential and ...

A Multiphase Model of Growth Factor-Regulated Atherosclerotic Cap Formation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
Atherosclerosis is characterised by the growth of fatty plaques in the inner (intimal) layer of the artery wall. In mature plaques, vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are recruited from the adjacent medial layer to deposit a cap of fibrous collagen over the fatty plaque core.

Endothelium, for Example

open access: yesJournal of the Royal College of Physicians of London, 1996
Endothelial nitric oxide production contributes at many levels to cardiovascular efficiency (considered as tissue perfusion relative to cardiac work). Endothelial dysfunction is found in many conditions, including all known risk factors for atheroma, and is usually generalised, when present, involving microvessels as well as large arteries, impairing ...
