The liver contains macrophages and myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) that are critical for the regulation of hepatic inflammation. Most hepatic macrophages and mDCs are derived from monocytes recruited from the blood through poorly understood interactions with hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells (HSEC

## Abstract In end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) endothelium may represent a key target for the action of circulating elements, such as modified erythrocytes (RBC) and/or plasmatic factors, that may facilitate inflammation and the vasculopathy associated with uremia. We have previously demonstrated th
Cigatette smoking is ranked among the leading risk factors in the etiology of atherosclerotic vascular disease. The mechanisms, however, that link cigarette smoking to increased incidence of atherosclerosis are not understood. The adherence of circulating monocytes to the endothelium, migration into
The effect of local application of various solutions on leucocyte adherence to the wall of small blood vessels in the microcirculation of the rat mesentery was examined. Leucocyte adhesion was produced by local application of zymosan-activated complement. Solutions of EDTA, lignocaine and prostacycl
Increased monocyte adhesion to the endothelial lining of blood vessels by cytokine-inducible adhesion proteins is a crucial event in inflammatory processes. Moreover, adherence is known to induce cytokine gene expression, suggesting a possible positive feedback mechanism. Therefore, we determined wh
