| Researchers found that elevating cytoplasmic zinc using ionophores relaxed rat and human isolated blood vessels and caused hyperpolarization of smooth muscle membrane. [Nature Communications] |

|
| Scientists showed that elevated levels of Delta-like 1 (DLL1) in the breast and lung tumor microenvironment induced long-term tumor vascular normalization to alleviate tumor hypoxia and promoted the accumulation of interferon γ–expressing CD8+ T cells and the polarization of M1-like macrophages.

|
| Researchers showed the delivery of miR-21-5p from colorectal cancer (CRC) cells to endothelial cells via exosomes increased the amount of miR-21-5p in recipient cells, suggesting that exosomal miR-21-5p was involved in angiogenesis and vascular permeability in CRC. [Cell Death & Disease] |

|
| Investigators showed that the expression level of interleukin (IL)-37 variant was remarkably downregulated in HUVECs exposed to Kawasaki disease sera-treated THP1 cells. [Cell Death & Disease] |

|
| The endothelin-1 in the functional hydrogels significantly promoted the proliferation, migration and angiogenesis-related gene expression of HUVECs and fibroblasts. [Journal of Materials Chemistry B] |

| Researchers evaluated the commercially-available decellularized skin dermis ECM Alloderm for efficacy in providing structure to biological engineered blood vessels. [Scientific Reports] |

|
| Scientists evaluated the effect of high glucose concentration on senescence in human retinal endothelial cells and modulation of that effect by Sulodexide. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators showed that under time-averaged simulated microgravity, the thickness of the endothelial cell arrangement increased by up to 59.75%, indicating skin irritation due to vasodilation, and that the diameter of keratinocytes and fibroblast co-cultured spheroids decreased by 6.66%, representing skin thinning.

| Scientists evaluated the effect of the supernatant of placental explants from preeclamptic and normotensive pregnant women after tissue treatment with or without vitamin D on oxidative stress and nitric oxide bioavailability in HUVECs. [Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research] |
