Endothelial Cells in Health and Disease gathers current data from endothelial cell biologists in various disciplines to summarize recent progress in the field.

Features:

• Highlights new and exciting proteomic and genomic techniques for mapping endothelial cell heterogeneity
• Studies endothelial cell function and includes chapters on genetic predetermination, fate mapping studies, oxygen tension, hemodynamics, and vascular bed-specific growth factor signaling
• Examines topics pertinent to phenotypes of the endothelium, including barrier function and leukocyte transmigration
• Studies the endothelium in different disease states including tumors, sepsis, sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, hypercoagulability, pulmonary hypertension, and transplantation, and presents a clinician's view of endothelial based-disease
• Covers transcriptional networks, endothelial progenitors, and circulating endothelial cells

Contents

• The Endothelium as an Organ
• Description and Cataloguing of Endothelial Cell Phenotypes
• Mechanisms of Endothelial Cell Heterogeneity
• Endothelial Cell Heterogeneity in Diseases
