Role of P-selectin in platelet sequestration in pulmonary capillaries during endotoxemia [PDF]
Background: There is growing evidence that platelets accumulate in the lung and contribute to the pathogenesis of acute lung injury during endotoxemia.

Gli1+ adventitial stem cells (ASCs) have been thought to generate smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in atherosclerosis. Using a dual‐recombinase lineage tracing to exclude ectopic labeling, Wang et al. found that Gli1+ ASCs do not contribute to SMCs in atherosclerotic plaques.

A deleterious variant of FCHSD1 results in mTOR pathway overactivation and may cause porto‐sinusoidal vascular disorder (PSVD). The pedigree of the family demonstrated an autosomal dominant disease with variable expressivity. Whole‐genome sequencing and Sanger sequencing both validated the existence of the FCHSD1 variant and the heterozygosity of c ...

Endothelial Overexpression of TGF-β-Induced Protein Impairs Venous Thrombus Resolution
Summary: Endothelial cells play a critical role during venous thrombus remodeling, and unresolved, fibrotic thrombi with irregular vessels obstruct the pulmonary artery in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH).

Perivascular adipose tissue inflammation in vascular disease [PDF]
Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. In vascular pathologies, perivascular adipose tissue increases in volume and becomes dysfunctional, with altered cellular composition and molecular ...

Selective Targeting of Tip Endothelial Cells as a Therapeutic Strategy for Tumor Angiogenesis
Doppel protein is selectively expressed in tip endothelial cells within the tumor vasculature, where it promotes tip cell motility and stabilizes the tip cell phenotype. Targeting Doppel with monoclonal antibodies disrupts this stabilization, impairs angiogenic sprouting, and reduces tumor angiogenesis, offering a selective and druggable switch for ...

Protein kinase Cδ and c-Abl kinase are required for transforming growth factor β induction of endothelial-mesenchymal transition in vitro. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: The origin of the mesenchymal cells responsible for the intimal fibrosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc) has not been fully identified. The present study was undertaken to investigate whether subendothelial mesenchymal cells may emerge through ...

Targeting DNA‐LNPs to Endothelial Cells Improves Expression Magnitude, Duration, and Specificity
Attaching antibodies against endothelial cell surface proteins redirects the delivery and expression of DNA‐lipid nanoparticles to organs of interest. Our targeted nanoparticles enable organ‐selective DNA expression in the endothelium of the lungs, brain, or spleen, providing a therapeutic platform for dozens of endothelial‐centric diseases.
