The endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3) gene is appealing in the search for genetic determinants of endothelium-dependent vasodilation. Smaller studies have investigated common genetic variation ...

Investigators publish new findings showing that the endothelium's efficient barrier function relies on an enormous self-restorative capacity. The endothelium, the cellular layer lining the body's ...

Platelets help to maintain blood circulation by controlling hemorrhage after an injury to the blood-vessel wall that causes physical or biochemical disruption of the endothelium. The development of an ...

The health of the endothelium, that thin layer of cells lining the blood vessels, is the front line for cardiovascular health. And a variety of food and supplement ingredients are showing promise in ...

Surgeons in the United States perform nearly 600,000 coronary artery stent procedures and bypass surgeries every year. They are the most common cardiovascular operations, and yet many fail within a ...

BOSTON – The endothelium, the cellular layer lining the body's blood vessels, is extremely resilient. Measuring just a few hundred nanometers in thickness, this super-tenuous structure routinely ...
