endothelial cells

[International Journal of Molecular Sciences] The emerging role of BMP signaling in lymphatic vessel biology will be highlighted within the framework of BMP signaling in the circulatory vasculature.

[ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces] Scientists used a modular tissue-engineering approach, embedding SUP microgels loaded with human umbilical vein endothelial cells into a 3D SUP hydrogel containing human dermal fibroblast neonatal cells to trigger angiogenesis.

[Biomaterials] Scientists examined the changes in mechanical tension of syndecan-1, a cell surface proteoglycan that is an integral part of the glycocalyx, in response to substrate stiffness and fluidic shear stress.

[Biomaterials Science] Inspired by the specific neutrophil–endothelium interaction, investigators designed neutrophil-camouflaged magnetic nanoprobes that can be used to target activated endothelial cells for improved neuroinflammation imaging.

[Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine] MiR-126 expression, as well as EGFL7, in SSc-MVECs and skin, was significantly down-regulated in association with increased expression of SPRED1 and PIK3R2 and diminished response to VEGF.

[Journal of Materials Chemistry B] Sr–CPHC facilitated the migration and tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells in vitro and up-regulated the expression of the vascular endothelial growth factor and Angiopoietin-1.
