## Background: Published work suggests that some types of endothelial cells undergo apoptosis in response to ligation of the receptor fas (cd95, apo1) but other types are resistant. because heterogeneity among endothelial cells from different tissues, has been demonstrated, the purpose of this stud

## Abstract nβ3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been shown to exert beneficial effects in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, inflammation, and on tumor growth. To investigate effects of PUFAs on proliferation and apoptosis in endothelial cells, we tested the nβ3 PUFA docosahexaenoic
Alterations in polyamine metabolism may be a critical mechanism of monocrotaline (MCT)-induced structural remodeling of the pulmonary vasculature. In the present study, the hypothesis that MCT, through the induction of oxidative stress, modulates cellular polyamine regulatory mechanisms which in tur
We evaluated platelet activation and adhesion on two plasma polymerized surfaces, N-vinyl pyrrolidone (NVP) and β₯-butyro lactone (GBL), which have been shown previously to promote endothelial cell growth and adhesion as well as fibronectin-coated glass (1 g/cm 2 ) coverslips. Human pulmonary artery
## Abstract A characteristic hallmark of Alzheimer's disease brain is the presence of hyperphosphorylated tau; however, the mechanisms responsible for the aberrant tau phosphorylation are unknown. Recently, it has been shown that apoptoticβlike processes may be involved in some of the neuronal loss
## Abstract There is evidence accumulating that brain microvasculature is involved critically in oxidative stressβmediated brain damage. Cultured cerebral microvascular endothelial cells were used to demonstrate the cytotoxic and genotoxic effects elicited by hypoxia/reoxygenation and DMNQ treatmen
