Visualization of Endothelial Actin Cytoskeleton in the Mouse Retina [PDF]

, 2012
Angiogenesis requires coordinated changes in cell shape of endothelial cells (ECs), orchestrated by the actin cytoskeleton. The mechanisms that regulate this rearrangement in vivo are poorly understood - largely because of the difficulty to visualize ...

VEGF guides angiogenic sprouting utilizing endothelial tip cell filopodia [PDF]

, 2003
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF-A) is a major regulator of blood vessel formation and function. it controls several processes in endothelial cells, such as proliferation, survival, and migration, but it is not known how these are coordinately ...

Histone methylation and vascular biology. [PDF]

Clin Epigenetics, 2020
AbstractThe vasculature not only transports oxygenated blood, metabolites, and waste products but also serves as a conduit for hormonal communication between distant tissues. Therefore, it is important to maintain homeostasis within the vasculature. Recent studies have greatly expanded our understanding of the regulation of vasculature development and ...

The light and shadow of senescence and inflammation in cardiovascular pathology and regenerative medicine [PDF]

, 2017
Recent epidemiologic studies evidence a dramatic increase of cardiovascular diseases, especially associated with the aging of the world population. During aging, the progressive impairment of the cardiovascular functions results from the compromised ...

Redox stress defines the small artery vasculopathy of hypertension: how do we bridge the bench-to-bedside gap? [PDF]

, 2017
Although convincing experimental evidence demonstrates the importance of vascular reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), oxidative stress, and perturbed redox signaling as causative processes in the vasculopathy of hypertension, this has not ...

Perivascular mast cells regulate vein graft neointimal formation and remodeling [PDF]

, 2015
Objective. Emerging evidence suggests an important role for mast cells in vein graft failure. This study addressed the hypothesis that perivascular mast cells regulate in situ vascular inflammatory and proliferative responses and subsequent vein graft ...

Endothelial GLUTs and vascular biology

Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 2023
Endothelial metabolism is a promising target for vascular functional regulation and disease therapy. Glucose is the primary fuel for endothelial metabolism, supporting ATP generation and endothelial cell survival. Multiple studies have discussed the role of endothelial glucose catabolism, such as glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, in vascular ...

Why vascular biology matters

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2001
Cardiovascular disease has been the leading cause of death for men and women in this country since 1921 and is currently the leading cause of death in the world. Adding to the sense of urgency about disease prevention is the recent finding that the initial lesions of atherosclerotic vascular disease may begin within the first year of life-or even ...

Cilia proteins are biomarkers of altered flow in the vasculature

JCI Insight, 2022
Cilia, microtubule-based organelles that project from the apical luminal surface of endothelial cells (ECs), are widely regarded as low-flow sensors. Previous reports suggest that upon high shear stress, cilia on the EC surface are lost, and more recent ...
