Endothelial cells (ECs) constitute the innermost layer in all blood vessels to maintain the
structural integrity and microcirculation function for coronary microvasculature. Impaired …

Experimental work of the last two decades has revealed the general steps of the wound
healing process. This complex network has been organized in three sequential and …

A central function of the vascular endothelium is to serve as a barrier between the blood and
