endothelial cells
A thin basement membrane, comprising lamin, fibronectin and other proteins, surrounds the endothelial cells and associated pericytes, and provides mechanical support and a barrier function.
Newer strategies have emerged that interfere with the activities of endothelial-cell molecules without targeting immune cells and eliciting the adverse effects associated with steroid usage.
Endothelial cells (en) receive signals from the podocytes to migrate into the vascular cleft and form glomerular capillaries.
They were lined by dense fibrous tissue and, in some places, appeared to have an endothelial or endocardial lining.
Chemokines can stimulate or inhibit proliferation and chemotaxis of the endothelial cells of the blood vessels that serve a tumour.
The vessel then has only a finite time to re-open, before the endothelial cells that form its walls die and the surrounding tissue becomes anoxic.
Maturation-related changes in endothelial nitric oxide synthase immunologicalization in developing ovine lung.
These circulating factors would promote vascular inflammation and endothelial dysfunction, and result in insulin resistance and hypertension as described above.
