Protective actions of des-acylated ghrelin on brain injury and blood-brain barrier disruption after stroke in mice [PDF]

, 2016
The major ghrelin forms, acylated ghrelin and des-acylated ghrelin, are novel gastrointestinal hormones. Moreover, emerging evidence indicates that these peptides may have other functions including neuro- and vaso-protection.

Histamine-modulated transdifferentiation of dermal microvascular endothelial cells

Experimental Cell Research, 1992
Homeostatic and inflammatory functions of skin microvessels are tightly regulated by vasoactive amines. Following stimulation with histamine, dermal microvascular endothelial cells (MEC) undergo a rapid change in phenotype (transdifferentiation) and subsequently exhibit an enhanced rate of growth.

Respiratory Organ‐on‐a‐Chip for Disease Modeling: From Architecture to Functional Integration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Respiratory organ‐on‐a‐chip (ROC) models capture key mechanical and cellular cues of the human respiratory system, enabling quantitative dissection of disease mechanisms. This review links ROC architectures to disease modeling, functional integration, and commercialization, and proposes a decision framework that aligns model complexity with mechanistic

Cyclosporine toxicity on cultured rat microvascular endothelial cells

Kidney International, 1989
The present study was undertaken to study the mechanism of cyclosporine-induced nephrotoxicity and hypertension. Cultured rat microvascular endothelial cells were exposed to cyclosporine for up to six days at one of the following concentrations: 10, 50, 250, and 1000 ng/ml of culture medium. Cyclosporine inhibited endothelial cell replication in a dose-

A Physiological Microfluidic Blood–Brain‐Barrier Model for In Vitro Study of Nanoparticle Trafficking and Accumulation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A human microfluidic blood‐brain barrier (mBBB) model enables spatially resolved comparison of nanoparticle trafficking. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), liposomes, and nanoplastics exhibit distinct transport and disruption behaviors, revealing that membrane composition and uptake pathways govern BBB interaction.

Cardiac endothelial ischemia/reperfusion injury-derived protein damage-associated molecular patterns disrupt the integrity of the endothelial barrier

Heliyon
Human cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (HCMECs) are sensitive to ischemia and vulnerable to damage during reperfusion. The release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) during reperfusion induces additional tissue damage.

Application of a novel method for subsequent evaluation of sinusoids and postsinusoidal venules after ischemia-reperfusion injury of rat liver [PDF]

, 1998
Although several intravital fluorescence microscopic studies demonstrated that microcirculatory derangement is induced during liver ischemia-reperfusion, these data were obtained from randomly selected microvascular areas and microvessels, Repeated ...

Ccl2 and Ccl3 Mediate Neutrophil Recruitment via Induction of Protein Synthesis and Generation of Lipid Mediators [PDF]

, 2009
Objective: Although the chemokines monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (Ccl2/JE/MCP-1) and macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (Ccl3/MIP-1α) have recently been implicated in neutrophil migration, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unclear.
