Immune Cell Effect on the Endothelium

Dear Colleagues,

Cell-to-cell communication among diverse cell types plays a vital role in tissue and organism homeostasis. At the same time, dysregulated intercellular communication shapes the pathophysiology of multiple diseases. The endothelial cells participate in the pathophysiology of inflammatory disorders, including cancer, and their behavior is regulated by different cell types, such as immune cells, fibroblasts and tumor cells in the case of malignancies. This Special Issue focuses on the reciprocal interaction between immune and endothelial cells; the means of this interaction, such as cytokines or extracellular vesicles; the molecular mechanisms; and its effect on vascular physiology or pathophysiology and the characteristic of inflammatory diseases.
