The vascular endothelium

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.

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

Imeglimin attenuates liver fibrosis by inhibiting vesicular ATP release from hepatic stellate cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Imeglimin, at clinically relevant concentrations, inhibits vesicular ATP accumulation and release from hepatic stellate cells, thereby attenuating purinergic signaling and reducing fibrogenic activation. This mechanism reveals a newly identified antifibrotic action of imeglimin beyond glycemic control.

Comparison of Endothelium-Related Responses to Nucleotides of Dog and Monkey Cerebral Arteries

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010
We compared mechanical responses to uridine-5′triphosphate (UTP) and 2-(methylthio)adenosine-5′diphosphate (2MeSADP) of cerebral arteries isolated from dogs and monkeys. In the dog, UTP induced endothelium-independent contraction, whereas 2MeSADP induced

Transient receptor potential canonical type 3 channels control the vascular contractility of mouse mesenteric arteries [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Inflammatory response and the endothelium [PDF]

open access: yesThrombosis Research, 2004
Antiphospholipid-mediated endothelium perturbation plays a role in antiphospholipid syndrome (APS)-associated vasculopathy. Antiphospholipid antibodies activate endothelium both in vitro and in vivo experimental models by inducing a pro-inflammatory/-coagulant phenotype; the antibodies recognize beta2 glycoprotein I (beta2GPI) on human endothelial ...

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Innate Immune Cells in the Adipose Tissue in Health and Metabolic Disease

open access: yesJournal of Innate Immunity, 2021
Metabolic disorders, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, are characterized by chronic low-grade tissue and systemic inflammation.

Replacement of dietary saturated fatty acids by trans fatty acids lowers serum HDL cholesterol and impairs endothelial function in healthy men and women [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We tested whether trans fatty acids and saturated fatty acids had different effects on flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD), a risk marker of coronary heart disease (CHD). Consumption of trans fatty acids is related to increased risk of CHD, probably through
