Circulatory microRNAs (c-miRNAs) are regulated in response to physical activity and may
exert anti-atherosclerotic effects. Since the vascular endothelium is an abundant source of c …

ADP ribosylation factors (ARFs) represent a family of small monomeric G proteins that switch
from an inactive, GDP-bound state to an active, GTP-bound state. One member of this family …

Endothelial cells constitute the natural inner lining of blood vessels and possess anti-
thrombogenic properties. This characteristic is frequently used by seeding endothelial cells …

From studies using macrovascular endothelium, it was concluded that Rho A activation
generally leads to endothelial barrier breakdown. Here, we characterized the role of Rho …

In this paper, the circular-arc curvilinear tooth gear drive is proposed. The gear and pinion
tooth surfaces are generated by two complemented circular-arc rack cutters with curvilinear …

The glycosylation pattern of human vascular endothelial cad-herin (VE-cadherin), purified
from cultured human umbilical cord vein endothelial cells, was analyzed. VE-cadherin was …

Increased extracellular pressure stimulates colon cancer cell adhesion by activating focal
adhesion kinase (FAK) and Src. We investigated the role of the cytoskeleton in pressure …

The early stage of infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Ngo), the causative agent of
gonorrhoea, is marked by type IV pilus (Tfp)‐mediated attachment and the formation of …

Numerous in vitro systems have previously been developed and employed for studying the
effects of hemodynamics on endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction. In the majority of that work …

Objectives: Degeneration of bioprosthetic heart valves has been suggested to be at least
partly an immunogenic reaction toward the xenogeneic tissue. An autologous endothelial …
