Endothelial cells

About

Endothelial cells form the inner lining of a blood vessel and provides an anticoagulant barrier between the vessel wall and blood. Endothelial cells also generate an antithrombotic surface that facilitates transit of plasma and cellular constituents throughout the vasculature. As a selective permeability barrier, the endothelial cell is a unique multifunctional cell with critical basal and inducible metabolic and synthetic functions. The endothelial cell reacts with physical and chemical stimuli within the circulation and regulates hemostasis, vasomotor tone, and immune and inflammatory responses. In addition, the endothelial cell is pivotal in angiogenesis and vasculogenesis.

    Producing Human Artery Endothelial Cells Applied for Heart Disease

    Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. The regenerative biology team in Morgridge Institute unexpectedly discovered a powerful new model that can be used for studying vascular disease markers while studying laboratory arterial endothelial cell growth. The final result is published in the Journal of Stem Cell Reports, by Dave Vereide, a researcher at the Morgridge Institute.

    Three-dimensional structure of human epithelial calcium channel TRPV6

    In a new study, researchers from the Columbia University Medical Center obtained a detailed structural picture of a membrane pore that allows epithelial cells to absorb calcium ions for the first time. This finding may accelerate the development of medicines that correct abnormal calcium intake associated with breast, endometrial, prostate and colon cancers. Relevant research results published on the Journal of Nature.

    Arterial endothelial cells That can Be Applied for Clinical Treatment

    While mentioning about the incurable disease, we usually consider about the cancer-related disease. However, cardiovascular diseases are on the top chart, and WHO also offered the same ranking! In the field of cancer, tumor immunotherapy recently made a major breakthrough, which will be applied to control some sort of cancer become a chronic disease. But for the field of cardiovascular disease treatment, still, need such a breakthrough.
