Eye, 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.

Transient receptor potential canonical type 3 channels control the vascular contractility of mouse mesenteric arteries [PDF]
, 2014 Transient receptor potential canonical type 3 (TRPC3) channels are non-selective cation channels and regulate intracellular Ca2+ concentration. We examined the role of TRPC3 channels in agonist-, membrane depolarization (high K+)-, and mechanical ...

The role of endocardial endothelium in the effect of histamine on myocardial contractions of histamine H1 and H2 receptor blockade [PDF]
Praxis Medica, 2016 Endocardial endothelium (EE) is a barrier which controls the passage of macromolecules and fluids between the blood and the adjacent miocardial interstitium. At the same time it is the place of synthesis of numerous endothelial mediators. Histamine as an

Biology of the Endothelium [PDF]
Clinical Cardiology, 1997 The endothelium releases factors that control vascular relaxation and contraction, thrombogenesis and fibrinolysis, and platelet activation and inhibition. Maintaining the functional integrity of the endothelium, therefore, is critical for the preservation of blood flow and the prevention of thrombosis.
