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 …

Endothelial cells (ECs) are a heterogeneous population that fulfills many physiological
processes. ECs also actively participate in both innate and adaptive immune responses …

The effects of brain AngII (angiotensin II) depend on AT1 receptor (AngII type 1 receptor)
stimulation and include regulation of cerebrovascular flow, autonomic and hormonal …

As the primary interface between the blood and various tissues of the body, the vascular
endothelium exhibits a diverse range of roles and activities, all of which contribute to the …

This paper investigated the effects of ox-LDL on PCSK9, and the molecular mechanisms of
PCSK9 siRNA-inhibited apoptosis induced by ox-LDL in human umbilical vein endothelial …

Atherosclerosis is a pathologic process occurring within the artery, in which many cell types,
including T cell, macrophages, endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells, interact, and …

Scope In vitro and in vivo studies suggest that dietary anthocyanins modulate cardiovascular
disease risk; however, given anthocyanins extensive metabolism, it is likely that their …

Aims Patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) often present with typical angina
pectoris and mildly elevated levels of cardiac troponin (non ST-segment elevation …

Aims Activation of transient receptor potential vanilloid type-1 (TRPV1) channels may affect
lipid storage and the cellular inflammatory response. Now, we tested the hypothesis that …

The oxidative theory of atherosclerosis relies on the modification of low density lipoproteins
(LDLs) in the vascular wall by reactive oxygen species. Modified LDLs, such as oxidized …
