The endothelium is a cell layer that lines the body’s blood vessels and lymphatic vessels. These cells are necessary to maintain healthy organs, tissues, and overall body function. The cells of the ...

Endothelium lining the cardiovascular system is highly sensitive to hemodynamic shear stresses that act at the vessel luminal surface in the direction of blood flow. Physiological variations of shear ...

Each year, around 15 million babies are born prematurely, with nearly one million dying soon after due to complications ...

Investigators publish new findings showing that the endothelium's efficient barrier function relies on an enormous self-restorative capacity. The endothelium, the cellular layer lining the body's ...

Microvascular endothelial dysfunction is an early or inductive event that occurs in the development of cardiovascular diseases and associated organ damage. The endothelium is composed of a single ...

The cells which line the blood vessels, known as the endothelium (arrowhead icon), are not infected. However, the endothelium’s strong response to the virus triggers an influx of inflammatory cells, ...

Using laughter-provoking movies to gauge the effect of emotions on cardiovascular health, researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore have shown for the first time that ...

Coronary heart disease (CHD) currently looms as the greatest health threat to Americans. The rise of coronary heart disease to the top of our medical "to-do list" is relatively recent. In 1900, ...

BOSTON – The endothelium, the cellular layer lining the body's blood vessels, is extremely resilient. Measuring just a few hundred nanometers in thickness, this super-tenuous structure routinely ...
