Activation of human endothelial cells by tumor necrosis factor‐α results in profound changes in the expression of glycosylation‐related genes

Abstract excerpt

The endothelium plays a central role in the logistics of the immune system by allowing the selective transmigration of leukocytes, as well as the maintenance of the circulation and coagulation homeostasis. Evidence is increasing that the carbohydrate composition of the endothelial cell surface is critical for the cells to exert their physiological function. The major aim of this study is to unravel the mechanisms...
