## Abstract Degranulated mast cells are present in the subendothelial space of eroded (deβendothelialized) coronary atheromas. Upon degranulation, mast cells secrete into the surrounding tissue an array of preformed and newly synthesized mediators, including proapoptotic molecules, such as chymase
## Abstract Cell volume regulation is a basic homeostatic mechanism transcendental for the normal physiology and function of cells. It is mediated principally by the activation of osmolyte transport pathways that result in net changes in solute concentration that counteract cell volume challenges i
Vascular endothelial cells (EC), communicating with one another across gap junctions, are usually made dysfunctional by hypoxia and reoxygenation (H/R); however, very limited information exists regarding the effects of H/R on the endothelial gap junctions. We investigated whether H/R interferes with
