First published in 1990: The Endothelium: Modulator of Cardiovascular Function takes a
comprehensive look at the role of the endothelium in cardiovascular control in health and …

At one time considered merely a monolayer of cells lining the vascular conduit, the
endothelium has emerged recently as an organ with functions as complex as any in the …

The endothelium is uniquely positioned at the interface between the blood and the vessel
wall. As such, it performs multiple functions: It is involved in the regulation of coagulation …

The endothelium, a monolayer of endothelial cells, constitutes the inner cellular lining of the
blood vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries) and the lymphatic system, and therefore is in …

Key discoveries in the past decade have revealed that the vascular endothelium is an
important regulatory organ that is involved in maintaining cardiovascular homeostasis in …

Recent insights into the pathogenesis of vascular disease have opened up a new frontier
that has implications for future therapies. The vasculature has been redefined as a vital …

Involvement of vascular endothelium in disease processes such as atherosclerosis has
been recognized since the time of Virchow,'but a working knowledge of its relevant …

Blood vessels are lined by endothelial cells which are responsible for maintaining
thromboresistance. Over the past decade it has become clear that endothelial cells have …

The cardiovascular system is regulated by the central mechanisms, hormones and local
vascular mediators. Anatomically, the endothelium lies between smooth muscle cells of the …

Vascular endothelium is a structurally simple but functionally complex tissue, the integrity of
which is essential to the health of the arterial wall. Since the classical theories of Rokitansky …
