Endothelial cells form a subtle monolayer covering the inner surface of the vascular tree. This unique localization allows them to integrate physical and neurohumoral signals from the blood and surrounding tissues to regulate vascular tone, cellular adhesion, inflammation, smooth muscle phenotype and proliferation as well as thromboresistance. Alterations of endothelial atheroprotective functio...
