Emerging Topics in Vascular Endothelial Cell Biology
This special issue belongs to the section “Cells of the Cardiovascular System“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Endothelial cells line the blood vessels and control the flow of substances and fluids into and out of tissues and are involved in numerous physiological as well as pathophysiological processes. In this Topical Collection, we will review recent findings on endothelial cell biology. New data on endothelial cell functions, such as coagulation and fibrinolysis, regulation of vascular tone, inflammation, blood vessel formation, and angiogenesis are welcome, as are insights into endothelial dysfunction and the role of endothelial cells in malignancies and coronary artery disease. Original papers, reviews, or perspective articles will be considered.
