Phenotypic Heterogeneity of the Endothelium: I. Structure, Function, and Mechanisms
- W. Aird
- Biology, Medicine
- Circulation research
- 2 February 2007
Endothelial cells, which form the inner cellular lining of blood vessels and lymphatics, display remarkable heterogeneity in structure and function. This is the first of a 2-part review focused on… Expand

- 17 April 2009
The incidence of many cancer types is significantly reduced in individuals with Down’s syndrome, and it is thought that this broad cancer protection is conferred by the increased expression of one or… Expand
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor- and Thrombin-induced Termination Factor, Down Syndrome Critical Region-1, Attenuates Endothelial Cell Proliferation and Angiogenesis*♦
- T. Minami, K. Horiuchi, +9 authors W. Aird
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of Biological Chemistry

Activation and dysfunction of the endothelium underlie many vascular disorders including atherosclerosis, tumor growth, and inflammation. Endothelial cell activation is mediated by many different… Expand
Del-1, an Endogenous Leukocyte-Endothelial Adhesion Inhibitor, Limits Inflammatory Cell Recruitment
- E. Choi, E. Chavakis, +18 authors T. Chavakis
- Biology, Medicine

- 14 November 2008
Leukocyte recruitment to sites of infection or inflammation requires multiple adhesive events. Although numerous players promoting leukocyte-endothelial interactions have been characterized,… Expand
PR39, a peptide regulator of angiogenesis
Although tissue injury and inflammation are considered essential for the induction of angiogenesis, the molecular controls of this cascade are mostly unknown. Here we show that a macrophage-derived… Expand
The Akt-regulated Forkhead Transcription Factor FOXO3a Controls Endothelial Cell Viability through Modulation of the Caspase-8 Inhibitor FLIP*
- Carsten Skurk, H. Maatz, +4 authors K. Walsh
- Medicine, Biology
- Journal of Biological Chemistry
- 9 January 2004
FLICE-inhibitory protein (FLIP) is a homolog of caspase-8 that lacks catalytic activity and has been shown to be important in protecting endothelial cells from apoptosis. The serine/threonine kinase… Expand
Vascular-bed--specific hemostasis and hypercoagulable states.
- R. Rosenberg, W. Aird
- Medicine
- The New England journal of medicine
- 20 May 1999
Hemostasis is a physiologic mechanism that maintains blood in a fluid state within the circulation. The coagulation of blood is mediated by cellular components and soluble plasma proteins. In… Expand
