Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Endothelial cells play a pivotal role in cardiovascular system homeostasis through the regulation of several blood vessels’ functions such as vasodilation, inflammation and thrombosis. Cardiovascular diseases represent a leading cause of mortality and morbidity, and endothelial dysfunction contributes to their pathogenesis. Thus, increasing our knowledge of endothelial cells’ pathophysiology in the setting of cardiovascular diseases is strongly advised to prevent and treat important cardiac and vascular pathologies such as hypertension, diabetes, intimal hyperplasia, venous and arterial thrombosis, and heart diseases.
This Special Issue welcomes basic and clinical research, such as original articles and reviews on the following topics:
- Endothelial cells’ physiology and pathophysiology;
- Endothelial cells’ role in the pathogenesis of acute and chronic cardiovascular diseases;
- The role of acute and chronic systemic diseases in the genesis of endothelial dysfunction;
- New pharmacological approaches for endothelial dysfunction;
Endothelial progenitor cells and cardiovascular regenerative medicine.
