Secreted phospholipases A2 (sPLA2s) are extracellular enzymes that catalyze the release
of free fatty acids and lysophospholipids from membrane phospholipids and also bind to …

Regulation of vascular permeability, recruitment of leukocytes from blood to tissue and
angiogenesis are all processes that occur at the level of the microvasculature during both …

Lymphangiogenesis is an important physiological response to inflammatory insult, acting to
limit inflammation. Macrophages, dendritic cells, and lymphocytes are known to drive …

Vascular inflammation is implicated in both local and systemic inflammatory conditions.
Endothelial activation and leukocyte extravasation are key events in vascular inflammation …

Neutrophils are the all-terrain vehicle of the innate immune system because of their ability to
gain entry into tissues and organs, and thus, play an essential role in host defense. Exactly …

Objective—Arteriogenesis, the growth of preexisting arterioles into functional arteries, is
dependent on the proper function of monocytes. Likewise, wound healing is monocyte …

Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) is an angiogenic growth factor that activates Tie-2 and integrins to
promote vessel wall remodeling. The recent finding of the potential proatherogenic effects of …

Despite increasing evidence supporting the involvement of neutrophils in ischemic and
postischemic damages, the mechanisms underlying the early recruitment of these cells are …

During inflammation, functional changes occur in the vasculature, including extensive
endothelial cell mitotic activity and remodeling of capillaries. Interleukin‐1α.(IL‐1α) is a …

Angiogenesis is a critical process for growth of new capillary blood vessels from preexisting
capillaries and postcapillary venules, both in physiological and pathological conditions …
