Molecular mechanisms mediating protective effect of cAMP on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced human lung microvascular endothelial cells (HLMVEC) hyperpermeability.

29 Nov 2009 Up to date, the nature of the sepsis-induced vascular leakage is understood only partially, which limits pharmacological approaches for its management. Here we studied the protective effect of cAMP using endotoxin-induced hyperpermeability as a ... Read more...

Hypoxia-induced expression of bradykinin type-2 receptors in endothelial cells triggers NO production, cell migration, and angiogenesis.

30 Oct 2009 Bradykinin receptors are differentially expressed in the coronary vascular endothelium of rat and human hearts during the pathogenesis of heart failure, but the mechanisms responsible for this regulation have remained vague. Here we show by ... Read more...

Orderly hematopoietic development of induced pluripotent stem cells via Flk-1(+) hemoangiogenic progenitors.

30 Oct 2009 Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, reprogrammed somatic cells with embryonic stem (ES) cell-like characteristics, are generated by the introduction of combinations of specific transcription factors. Little is known about the differentiation of ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Endothelial Cells'

Definition: Highly specialized EPITHELIAL CELLS that line the HEART; BLOOD VESSELS; and lymph vessels, forming the ENDOTHELIUM. They are polygonal in shape and joined together by TIGHT JUNCTIONS. The tight junctions allow for variable permeability to specific macromolecules that are transported across the endothelial layer.
