This important study examines the role of pericytes in patterning the zebrafish blood-brain barrier (BBB) and controlling its permeability. Using pdgfrb mutant zebrafish models lacking brain pericytes ...

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

Researchers investigate the underlying mechanisms of endothelial insulin resistance involved in obesity-associated diabetes.

Adrenomedullin (ADM) inhibits endothelial insulin signaling, contributing to obesity-associated insulin resistance, according ...

If insulin can’t get out of blood vessels, it can’t act in its target tissues. “Endothelial cells are full of insulin ...

The Sing IMT improved distance and near vision at 6 months in patients with late-stage age-related macular degeneration, with ...

When a tumor develops, it creates a structure around itself called the tumor stroma, within which blood and lymphatic vessels ...

Many cells comprise the tumor microenvironment, but endothelial cells are particularly crucial. They line blood vessels, regulating blood flow and inflammation, and their cell junctions are the ...

Atherosclerosis, a disease characterized by the accumulation of lipids and inflammatory cells in the arterial wall, is a ...
