    Directional Mast Cell Degranulation of Tumor Necrosis Factor Into Blood Vessels Primes Neutrophil Extravasation

    Scientists demonstrated that mast cell-derived tumor necrosis factor was crucial for neutrophil extravasation to sites of contact hypersensitivity-induced skin inflammation by promoting intraluminal crawling.

    Mechanobiological Conditioning of Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Enhanced Vascular Regeneration

    By means of high-throughput screening of the combinatorial space of mechanical-strain level and of the presence of particular kinase inhibitors, investigators showed that human mesenchymal stem cells could be mechanically and pharmacologically conditioned to enhance vascular regeneration in vivo.

    Abstract

    Dual Channel Microfluidics for Mimicking the Blood–Brain Barrier

    A co-culture of human vascular endothelial cells with pericytes was developed that mimicked the blood–brain barrier. This dual channel microfluidics system enabled 3D localization microscopy of the cytoskeleton and 3D single-molecule-sensitive tracing of lipoprotein particles.

    Abstract

    Longitudinal Shear Stress Response in Human Endothelial Cells to Atheroprone and Atheroprotective Conditions

    Investigators measured oscillatory shear and pulsatile shear transcriptomic responses in human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) over 24 hours and compared these temporal responses of HAECs with our previous findings on HUVECs.

    Renal AAV2-Mediated Overexpression of Long Non-Coding RNA H19 Attenuates Ischemic Acute Kidney Injury Through Sponging of microRNA-30a-5p

    Lentivirus-mediated overexpression, as well as antisense oligonucleotide-based silencing, modulated H19 in vitro. In vivo analyses used constitutive H19 knockout mice.

    Endothelial TLR2 Promotes Proangiogenic Immune Cell Recruitment and Tumor Angiogenesis

    Scientists found that Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) was highly abundant in the endothelium within various tissues using TLR2-IRES-EGFP reporter mice and was required for proinflammatory endothelial cell function.
