Similar to a small cut that heals itself after a short time, individual cells in our body suffer "wounds" in their protective layer, the cell membrane, every day and have to repair them again.

The new paper shows that venous endothelial cells can help fix damaged blood vessels in the lungs. The researchers found that following influenza, COVID, and hyperoxia injury, VECs proliferate ...

Peptides have emerged as a fascinating class of biomolecules with multifaceted roles across biological systems. Vesugen, a ...

Critics say the significance of the findings has been overstated. Studies signal that damage to the endothelium—cells that cover blood vessels like wallpaper—could underpin the thrombosis and ...

The distinct population of endothelial cells that line blood vessels in the insulin-producing "islets" of the human pancreas ...

For example, the endothelial tissue that lines the human ... selectively removes damaged cells — including those with DNA damage or defective mitochondria. During apoptosis, cellular proteases ...

These studies focus on the role of the microvasculature in tissue damage. Endothelial cells generate 20-fold more of a unique form of acid sphingomyelinase (ASMase), termed Secretory ASMase, than any ...

New branches form through special cells at the leading edges of blood vessels—endothelial tip cells—migrating to new locations, where they form vascular sprouts. Efficient cell migration is ...

In this Healio Video Perspective from Hawaiian Eye 2025, Greg Kunst, CEO of Aurion Biotech, discusses positive phase 1/2 data for the company’s cell therapy for corneal endothelial disease.

induced cytotoxicity by directly disrupting the cellular membrane and killing off the endothelial cells. Moving forward, researchers can use the system to probe specific toxins in the venom and ...
