Background—Pulmonary capillary endothelium-bound (PCEB) angiotensin-converting ectoenzyme (ACE) activity alteration is an early, sensitive, and quantifiable lung injury index in animal models.We ...

All diseases exist on a continuum, and the damage often begins early—sometimes as soon as a child is weaned off breast milk ...

Introduction. The endothelium is a monolayer of cells, called endothelial cells, that lines the interior of blood vessels, including arteries, veins and cardiac chambers, 1 acting as a protective ...

Bovine adrenal capillary endothelial cells BP10T8 (BCECs) provided by J. Folkman (Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston), were maintained in DME with 10% donor calf serum (JHR ...

Erythritol may impair cellular functions essential to maintaining brain blood vessel health, according to researchers at the ...

The development of a new assay for lipoproteins by capillary electrophoresis in fused-silica capillaries and in glass microdevices is described in this paper. The separation of low-density (LDL) and ...

How endothelial cells sense and respond to dynamic changes in their biophysical surroundings as we age is not fully understood. Vascular stiffness is clearly a contributing factor not only in several ...

Endothelial permeability to radial mass transport is heterogeneous 13 and site-specific, ranging from completely impermeable (blood-brain barrier) to highly permeable, for example, capillaries of the ...
