Abstract excerpt
Blood vessel activation in inflammatory diseases is triggered by a myriad of different factors that partially reveal opposite activities on endothelial cells (EC). For example, inflammatory cytokines (IC) inhibit EC proliferation and induce cell adhesiveness for leukocytes. In contrast, angiogenic growth factors (AGF) activate EC proliferation and inhibit cell adhesiveness for leukocytes. In consequence, IC and...
