facilitating communication between cells, and protecting against inflammation and injury. Recent research has increasingly focused on the degradation of the endothelial glycocalyx and its ...

The distinct population of endothelial cells that line blood vessels in the insulin-producing "islets" of the human pancreas have been notoriously difficult to study, but Weill Cornell Medicine ...

Vascular biology research forms a major part of the Bristol Renal interest and expertise from the study of glomerular endothelial cells in vitro and in vivo to the role of glycocalyx or the importance ...

New branches form through special cells at the leading edges of blood vessels—endothelial tip cells—migrating to new locations, where they form vascular sprouts. Efficient cell migration is ...

In addition to particular proteinuric renal diseases our work focuses in particular in the endothelial glycocalyx, regulation of the podocyte foot processes, podocyte insulin signalling and cell-cell ...
