Cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (CMEC) play important roles in myocardial function. CMEC regulate vascular tone by releasing and degrading endothelium-derived vasoactive factors, and modulating the local levels of vasoconstrictors and vasodilators through their enzymatic activities. Many of these substances can also modify myocardial contractile behavior. Furthermore, microvasculature has ...
Brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMEC), the major component of the blood-brain barrier, limit the passage of soluble and cellular substances from the blood into the brain. BMEC have unique features to distinguish themselves from those of peripheral endothelial cells, such as 1) intercellular tight junctions that display high electrical resistance and slow paracellular flux, 2) the absence ...

Microvascular endothelial cells line blood vessels and contribute to many biological processes such as angiogenesis, coagulation, trafficking of lymphocytes, and the inflammatory response. Microvascular endothelial cells are diverse and have specific cellular characteristics and functions depending on the organ/tissue in which they are located. Adipose tissue is unique because it has the capacity ...
