While researchers have long been familiar with the surface structure of lymphatic vessels, a groundbreaking study has now focused on their jigsaw puzzle-like pattern. This arrangement helps cells ...

Researchers of a new study have discovered that DSRD patients showed signs of neuroinflammation and blood-brain barrier ...

These cells lining the inside of your brain's blood vessels are tightly packed together, forming your blood-brain barrier.

Researchers have revealed a new scientific clue that could unlock the key cellular pathway leading to devastating neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ...

In Nature Neuroscience, UConn School of Medicine researchers have revealed a new scientific clue that could unlock the key cellular pathway leading to devastating neurodegenerative diseases like ...

Elevated transport of low-density lipoprotein across arterial endothelium is a major risk factor in the development of atherosclerosis, and hence coronary heart disease and stroke, but is not ...

Thrombosis happens when something damages the inner lining of your blood vessel (endothelium) or slows blood flow. In either case, cells in your blood start to stick together when they shouldn’t.

Upon inflammation, leukocytes rapidly transmigrate across the endothelium to enter the inflamed tissue. Evidence accumulates that leukocytes use preferred exit sites, alhough it is not yet clear how ...
