Open AccessEndothelial glycocalyx shields the interaction of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein with ACE2 receptors
Endothelial cells (ECs) play a crucial role in the development and propagation of the severe COVID-19 stage as well as multiorgan dysfunction. It remains, however, controversial whether COVID-19-induced endoth...

Open AccessMyoblast-conditioned media improve regeneration and revascularization of ischemic muscles in diabetic mice
Diabetes is associated with reduced expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), a heme-degrading enzyme with cytoprotective and proangiogenic properties. In myoblasts and muscle satellite cells HO-1 improves surviv...

Open AccessPPARγ activation but not PPARγ haplodeficiency affects proangiogenic potential of endothelial cells and bone marrow-derived progenitors
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) agonists, which have been used as insulin sensitizers in diabetic patients, may improve functions of endothelial cells (ECs). We investigated the effect of ...

Endothelial Cell Origin, Differentiation, Heterogeneity and Function
The endothelium forms a cellular lining of blood vessels in the circulatory system, but its function goes far beyond the creation of a structural barrier between blood and tissues. It is a multifunctional, com...
