Endothelial cells (ECs) are the innermost layer of blood vessels that play important roles in
homeostasis and vascular function. However, recent evidence suggests that the onset of …

Endothelial cell injury is considered to play a critical role for development and progression of
atherosclerosis as well as for complications after percutaneous coronary artery interventions …

Acquired vascular abnormalities are a pivotal part of the pathophysiology of multiple
cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Complications of various types of vascular …

Recent research on the endothelium demonstrates complex interactions of endothelial cells
with circulating immune cells, mediators such as cytokines, hormones and growth factors …

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) repair vascular damage and participate in
