Endothelial cells obtained from human umbilical chord have been studied by the patch clamp method. An ion channel is described that is activated by microM concentrations of histamine and shows a slow run-down in cell-attached patches. After excision, channel activity quickly runs down to zero open p

## Abstract Sphingosine 1βphosphate (S1P) has assumed great importance within neuroscience research because of putative links between S1Pβsensitive Edg receptors and neuroregeneration, cell survival, and alterations in neurite outgrowth. In the present study, we examined the mechanisms by which the
## Abstract Sphingosine 1βphosphate (S1P) promotes endothelial cell migration __in vitro__ and may potentially impact the endothelialization of implanted biomaterials. However, the effects of S1P on endothelial cells (EC) in flowing blood could be negligible due to preactivation of signaling cascad
