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

A protein that is expressed on capillary endothelial cells, called GPIHBP1 (glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored high-density lipoprotein binding protein 1), binds lipoprotein lipase and shuttles ...

Blood clotting (thrombosis) in the capillary vessels of the lungs is one of the first consequences of severe COVID-19, even preceding the respiratory distress caused by diffuse alveolar damage ...

Endothelial cells lining veins in lungs contribute to repair of blood ... VECs proliferate into the adjacent capillary bed—a ...

We found that 11 infusions of recombinant α-galactosidase A at a dose of 1 mg per kilogram over a 20-week period safely and effectively cleared the abnormalities in the capillary endothelium of ...

Therefore, the authors suggest that vitamin D3 may be of clinical importance in the restoration of dysfunctional cardiac endothelium after heart attack, capillary endothelium after brain ischemia ...

When the blood-brain barrier is disrupted, as in TBI, both water and solutes cross the damaged capillary endothelium, causing brain edema. The increased ICP from this edema can lead to cell death ...

They are also interfaced across a porous membrane with primary human lung capillary endothelial cells in the parallel channel that are constantly perfused with a blood-like nutrient medium that ...
