Endothelium and Epithelium: Composition, Functions, and Pathology

This academic text provides in-depth research regarding the composition, functions, and pathology of endothelium and epithelium. Part of the Human Anatomy and Physiology: Cell Biology Research Progress series, it serves as a specialized resource for those studying medical sciences and cell biology. The content covers a wide range of scientific topics, including the pathophysiology of endothelium and the role of epithelial innate immunity in inflammatory diseases. Readers can find detailed studies on the morphofunctional characteristics of static endothelium and dynamic epithelial cell populations. The book also examines specific medical conditions and biological processes, such as changes in respiratory epithelium during bronchial asthma and the influence of interleukin-6 (IL6) signaling on cardiovascular disease development. Additional research topics include the endothelium-dependent effects of heat shock on vasomotor tone and the functioning of the Gasdermin Superfamily. This volume is designed for researchers and professionals seeking updated topical research in the fields of pre-clinical medicine and cellular pathology.
