Vasculitisis a broad term for inflammation of the blood vessel wall. There are some 20 types of vasculitis. It may occur in a vessel of any size although certain types of vasculitis tend to affect arteries of a specific size. Some forms of vasculitis also have a tendency to affect very sp...
Acute inflammation is your body’s response to short-term, acute injuries, infections, or illnesses with localized effects. Your cells release chemicals to create inflammation to protect your body, prevent infections from spreading, and aid recovery. Your blood vessels dilate, blood flow increases an...
An association between angiogenesis/inflammation status and tumor has been reported in various types of cancer. This study sought to assess the role of peripheral blood VEGF and some inflammation biomarkers in evaluating clinical response and prognosis i
compromise, as well as new onset heart failure (between 2 weeks and 3 months) with a dilated left ventricle and new ventricular arrhythmias, atrioventricular block II to III, or failure to respond to medical therapy and usual care within 1 to 2 weeks (Class I, Level of Evidence: B) (28...
Osteoarthritis (OA), known as one of the most common types of aseptic inflammation of the musculoskeletal system, is characterized by chronic pain and whole-joint lesions. With cellular and molecular changes including senescence, inflammatory alterations

We no longer regard the blood vessel as an inert tube, but rather as a living structure composed of cells such as endothelium and smooth muscle (Fig. 1).We possess increasingly detailed knowledge of the interactions between blood components, including cells, proteins, and small molecules, and ...
Cells that are embedded in the vascular basement membrane of microvessels and that are thought to be derived from the vascular smooth muscle cell lineage. They make close cellular contact with endothelial cells and this interaction is essential for the maintenance of vessel function, as well as fo...
These TEVGs transform into living blood vessels in vivo, with an endothelial cell (EC) lining invested by smooth muscle cells (SMCs); however, the process by which this occurs is unclear. To test if the seeded BMCs differentiate into the mature vascular cells of the neovessel, we implanted...
The choroid. This is a group of blood vessels that give yourretinathe nutrients it needs. It sits behind the iris and ciliary body. When you have uveitis, you may also have inflammation beyond the uvea, including in your eye fluid and your retina. That's the light-sensitive tissue at th...
