There are over 10 trillion endothelial cells (EC) that line the vasculature of the human body.
These cells not only have specialized functions in the maintenance of homeostasis within …

In addition to the roles of endothelial cells (ECs) in physiological processes, ECs actively
participate in both innate and adaptive immune responses. We previously reported that, in …

As an important component of the vasculature, endothelial cell lining covers the inner
surface of blood vessels and provides an active barrier interface between the vascular and …

Vascular endothelial cells (ECs) form a barrier that plays a crucial role in the health and
integrity of tissues by regulating the passage of molecules, liquids and immune cells …

The endothelial cells lining vascular and lymphatic vessels are targets of several infectious
agents, including viruses and bacteria, that lead to dramatic changes in their functions …

The innate immune system represents the principal sensor of infections in multicellular
organisms and might also mediate responses to some endogenous molecules. In this …

Objective The endothelium is an active component of the innate immune response to
bacterial invasion. Endothelial cells comprise mechanisms to recognize structural patterns …

The endothelium lines the inner surface of the vessel wall establishing a multifunctional,
semi-permeable cellular barrier at blood-tissue interface. The large total surface of the …

Endothelial cells (ECs) participate in inflammatory and immune reactions by producing and
