endothelial cells

[Cell Death & Disease] Scientists showed that heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) was accumulated in the nuclei of stress-induced senescent endothelial cells, and conferred protection against endothelial senescence independent of its enzymatic activity.

[Journal of the American Heart Association] Primary podocytes were isolated and subjected to analysis of Wnt signaling and fatty acid metabolism. Conditioned media from primary podocytes was transferred to glomerular endothelial cells.

[Hypertension] Nineteen extracellular vesicle surface antigens were differentially expressed in patients with primary aldosteronism compared with patients with essential hypertension or normotensive controls, including markers of activated platelets, endothelial and immune/inflammatory cells.

[Biomaterials] Scientists immortalized HUVECs and fibroblasts (FBs) by exogenously expressing human telomerase reverse transcriptase to obtain stable endothelial cell and FB sources for microvascular networks formation in vitro.

[Biomedical Microdevices] The angiogenesis of the films was tested in HUVECs by cell migration, tube formation, and VEGF quantification in vitro, and by a chicken embryo chorioallantoic membrane assay in vivo.

[Vascular Pharmacology] The authors summarize the biogenesis, characteristics and functions of circRNAs with a focus on their roles in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.
