Aortic valve: turning over a new leaf(let) in endothelial phenotypic heterogeneity.
Aortic valve diseases are debilitating cardiovascular disorders associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Although there continue to be major efforts to improve the longevity of replacement valves and to improve tissue engineered substitutes,1 the underlying mechanisms that may be responsible for the initiation and development of valve pathology have received less attention than have...
متن کاملPhenotypic heterogeneity of the endothelium: I. Structure, function, and mechanisms.
Endothelial cells, which form the inner cellular lining of blood vessels and lymphatics, display remarkable heterogeneity in structure and function. This is the first of a 2-part review focused on phenotypic heterogeneity of blood vessel endothelium. This review provides an historical perspective of our understanding of endothelial heterogeneity, discusses the scope of phenotypic diversity acro...
متن کاملReview Dynamical Systems Approach to Endothelial Heterogeneity
Endothelial cells display remarkable phenotypic heterogeneity. An important goal is to elucidate the scope and mechanisms of endothelial heterogeneity and to use this information to develop vascular bed–specific therapies. We reexamine our current understanding of the molecular basis of endothelial heterogeneity. We introduce multistability as a new explanatory framework in vascular biology. We...
متن کاملHeterogeneity of endothelial cells--role in vessel specialization and cooperation in vasculogenic mimicry.
Among endothelial cells (ECs), subpopulations are mainly distinguished in terms of maturation, tissue specialization and functions. Heterogeneity is an important characteristic of endothelial cells responsible for organ-specific cell and molecule delivery. Endothelial cell heterogeneity is a key to embryonic development as well as cell recruitment in adult organism during the immune response; i...
متن کاملPhenotypic heterogeneity of the endothelium: II. Representative vascular beds.
Endothelial cells, which form the inner cellular lining of blood vessels and lymphatics, display remarkable heterogeneity in structure and function. This is the second of a 2-part review on the phenotypic heterogeneity of blood vessel endothelial cells. The first part discusses the scope, the underlying mechanisms, and the diagnostic and therapeutic implications of phenotypic heterogeneity. Her...
