E-selectin expression is found only on
endothelial cells after activation of proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor) or endotoxin.
The analysis of the post-SLT micrographs revealed signs of
endothelial cell damage.
In vitro studies show that polyhydroxyl compounds (glucose, galactose, galactitol, sorbitol, or xylitol) inhibit Na+, K+-ATPase activity in cultured bovine corneal
endothelial cells whereas in vivo studies show reduced Na+, K+-ATP-ase activity in the corneal endothelium of diabetic rabbits after only 10 weeks of alloxan-induced hyperglycaemia.
The outcome of the study was mean corneal
endothelial cell count which was compared with diabetic eyes group and healthy eyes.
In vitro angiogenesis:
endothelial cell tube formation on gelled basement membrane extract.
This activity of varicose serum seems to be primarily associated with TGF-[beta]1-dependent activation of
endothelial cell senescence.

Endothelial Cells Post Stent Deployment in a Cardiovascular Simulator In Vitro"' Annual of Biomedical Engineering, Vol.
These MPs increase capillary-like formation and proliferation but inhibit migration in
endothelial cell culture.
Results: Rapamycin increased the number of circulating mature
endothelial cells approximately 2-fold compared to tacrolimus.
Endothelial cell apoptosis in systemic lupus erythematosus: a common pathway for abnormal vascular function and thrombosis propensity.
Cloning human platlet
endothelial cell adhesion molecule, structural & functional characterization, J immunol.
With image analyzer software, the cell area of 100
endothelial cells from each cornea was measured, and mean
endothelial cell density was obtained.
