A research team led by Professor Takuya Yamamoto (Department of Life Science Frontiers) and Professor Yasuhiro Yamada at the University of Tokyo has developed a novel in vivo system that reveals how ...

A protein called BMPER found at low levels in models has emerged as a PAH treatment target as it may ease disease progression ...

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play a vital role in endothelial repair following vascular injury by maintaining the integrity of endothelium. As EPCs home to endothelial injury sites, they may ...

All diseases exist on a continuum, and the damage often begins early—sometimes as soon as a child is weaned off breast milk and starts consuming regular table food. In a previous blog, I discussed ...

In developmental biology the term is used to describe formation of the arterial vessel network from the primary vascular plexus. This includes endothelial arterial fate specification, recruitment of ...

The ion channel PIEZO2 doesn't just convey touch stimuli. It also plays a key role in the development of coronary vessels, a team led by Annette Hammes from the Max Delbrück Center reports in Nature ...

However, its effects on pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)-associated vascular remodeling remain to be elucidated. This study investigated the effects of PTE on monocrotaline (MCT)-induced PAH in ...

Introduction The endothelium is a monolayer of cells, called endothelial cells, that lines the interior of blood vessels, including arteries, veins and cardiac chambers, 1 acting as a protective layer ...
