Our understanding of endothelial physiology is overdue compared with other areas of study. For too many years the complex mysteries of this thin single-layered cellular lamina covering the whole of the vascular network, from the large conduction vessel to the smallest resistance and diffusion vessel, have been hidden by an organ-based science more focused on organ pathology than on ultrastructural physiopathology. We tried to follow chronologically the alteration stages of this system of membranes in relation to the development of the atherosclerotic plaque in human biopsy.

Abstract
Our understanding of endothelial physiology is overdue compared with other areas of study. For too many years the complex mysteries of this thin single-layered cellular lamina covering the whole of the vascular network, from the large conduction vessel to the smallest resistance and diffusion vessel, have been hidden by an organ-based science more focused on organ pathology than on ultrastructural physiopathology. We tried to follow chronologically the alteration stages of this system of membranes in relation to the development of the atherosclerotic plaque in human biopsy.File in questo prodotto:
