Microvessel endothelial cell transdifferentiation: phenotypic characterization.

Differentiation; research in biological diversity - 1 Mar 1991

Lipton B H, Bensch K G, Karasek M A

Abstract excerpt

Human dermal microvessel endothelial cells (MEC) have two basic functions: maintenance of tissue homeostasis and facilitation of inflammatory responses. The former requires that the endothelium expresses traits of an epithelium, while inflammatory reactions are associated with intimal disruption. Acute inflammation transiently alters endothelium, whereas chronic inflammation may result in vessel reorganization...
