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 ...

Adding engineered human blood vessel-forming cells to islet transplants boosted the survival of the insulin-producing cells ...

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 ...

Adding engineered human blood vessel-forming cells to islet transplants boosted the survival of the insulin-producing cells ...

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 ...

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

The distinct population of endothelial cells that line blood vessels in the insulin-producing "islets" of the human pancreas have been notoriously difficult to study, but Weill Cornell Medicine ...
