Endothelial Cells in Health and Disease

This reference is the first resource to gather current data from endothelial cell biologists in various disciplines to summarize recent progress in the field. It builds a complete understanding of the endothelium in health and disease and demonstrates its potential as a therapeutic target. It highlights new proteomic and genomic techniques for mapping endothelial cell heterogeneity, studies endothelial cell function and includes chapters on genetic predetermination, fate mapping studies, oxygen tension, hemodynamics, and vascular bed-specific growth factor signaling.
