Obesity is a metabolic disease mainly manifested by abnormal lipid metabolism and is one of the important risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Studies have shown that vascular endothelial ...

Endothelium lining the cardiovascular system is highly sensitive to hemodynamic shear stresses that act at the vessel luminal surface in the direction of blood flow. Physiological variations of shear ...

Investigators publish new findings showing that the endothelium's efficient barrier function relies on an enormous self-restorative capacity. The endothelium, the cellular layer lining the body's ...

Platelets help to maintain blood circulation by controlling hemorrhage after an injury to the blood-vessel wall that causes physical or biochemical disruption of the endothelium. The development of an ...

A study led by the Innovation in Vesicles and Cells for Application in Therapy (IVECAT) group at the Germans Trias i Pujol ...

Surgeons in the United States perform nearly 600,000 coronary artery stent procedures and bypass surgeries every year. They are the most common cardiovascular operations, and yet many fail within a ...

BOSTON – The endothelium, the cellular layer lining the body's blood vessels, is extremely resilient. Measuring just a few hundred nanometers in thickness, this super-tenuous structure routinely ...
