Voorbeelden van endothelia

• However, other cell types such as astrocytes (b), oligodendrocytes, endothelia and even neurons may act as nonprofessional phagocytes.

• Barrier functions across epithelia and endothelia are essential for homeostatic tissue regulation.

• Astroglia interact with cerebral endothelia to maintain the blood-brain barrier.

• This approach takes advantage of the differences in particle distribution across blood and lymphatic endothelia.

• At this stage vascular and lymphatic endothelia were seen to be morphologically distinct and lymphatic vessels considered less important.

• Diabetes and atherosclerosis are commonly associated syndromes. 80% of diabetes-associated deaths involve some form of atherosclerotic complication, and the basement membrane of endothelia has been implicated in the atherogenic process.

• Spatio-temporal specificity in trans-activation of the perlecan gene during development is key to the maturation of basement membranes and thus to the complete separation of epithelia from endothelia and stroma.
