Endothelial cells incubated with platelet-rich plasma express PDGF-B and ICAM-1 and induce bone marrow stromal cell migration.

30 Oct 2009 Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is used to accelerate bone repair through the growth factors released by platelets. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if PRP induce human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) to express mRNA for osteogenic ... Read more...

Nebivolol: the somewhat-different beta-adrenergic receptor blocker.

11 Oct 2009 Although its clinical use in Europe dates almost 10 years, nebivolol is a beta-blocker that has been only recently introduced in the U.S. market. Like carvedilol, nebivolol belongs to the third generation of beta-blockers, which possess direct ... Read more...

The molecular basis of vascular lumen formation in the developing mouse aorta.

29 Sep 2009 In vertebrates, endothelial cells (ECs) form blood vessels in every tissue. Here, we investigated vascular lumen formation in the developing aorta, the first and largest arterial blood vessel in all vertebrates. Comprehensive imaging, ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Endothelium, Vascular'

Definition: Single pavement layer of cells which line the luminal surface of the entire vascular system and regulate the transport of macromolecules and blood components from interstitium to lumen; this function has been most intensively studied in the blood capillaries.
