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 ...

The health of the endothelium, that thin layer of cells lining the blood vessels, is the front line for cardiovascular health. And a variety of food and supplement ingredients are showing promise in ...

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 ...
