Instead, they are taken up by monocyte/macrophages accessible from the circulation, and they bind to and are internalized by endothelial cells. Although endothelial cells in many organs show ...

After two weeks, the circulating stem cells had transformed into macrophages and endothelial cells, which line blood vessels.

Macrophages play this role through the elaboration of angiogenic growth factors. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family and platelet derived growth factor C (PDGF-CC) are important for ...

Decrease endothelial permeability ... Omega 3 fatty acids and statins Decrease modified LDL macrophage uptake by scavenger receptors (Box 11) Decrease native LDL macrophage uptake by pinocytosis.

Increased numbers of macrophages produce LTB4; this molecule causes the death of the endothelial cells (the inner lining of the vessels) while simultaneously promoting the abnormal proliferation ...
