Endothelial Signaling in Vascular Dysfunction and Disease: From Bench to Bedside provides a detailed understanding of the endothelium, its activation and their link to some common clinical disorders. In addition, the book covers earlier discoveries, including those from the last and 19th centuries. It is split into five sections that cover the vascular tree as an integrative structure, the endothelium in inflammation, endothelial signaling, activation and toxicity with chemotherapy, radiation induced endothelial dysfunction and vascular disease, and therapies in combating vascular diseases. Each section is discussed with a translational approach in order to make the content truly applicable.
This book is a valuable source for basic researchers, clinicians in the fields of Oncology, Cardiovascular Medicine and Radiology, and members of the biomedical field who are conducting studies related to the endothelium and vascular disease.
- Discusses the most relevant discoveries in endothelial biology and their link to manifestations of clinical disease
- Presents history and diagrams in each section to highlight the original biological discovery and its link of clinical manifestations of vascular disease
- Includes recent findings on the relationship between endothelial signaling, chemotherapy and radiation induced endothelial dysfunction

Shampa Chatterjee
Shampa Chatterjee is Associate Professor at the Department of Physiology, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicinein Philadelphia. Trained in India, Germany and the US, her current research is on inflammation-immune signaling with a focus on the vascular system. Her lab studies the role of redox signals in the onset and amplification of inflammation and immune responses. Toward this, recent work from her group showed that the systemic cytokine storm associated with COVID-19 activates an inflammation cascade in the vascular system that can potentially lead to vascular dysfunction. Research in her lab is funded by extramural research funding from the NIH and corporate sources. Dr. Chatterjee serves on the Editorial Board of several journals in the field of pulmonary physiology. She has published more than 100 papers in peer reviewed journals and edited two books on Endothelial Signaling, and on Inflammation and Immune responses. Dr. Chatterjee has received numerous awards such as the Caroline Tum Suden young Investigator Award, and the Hermann Rahn award for Excellence if Pulmonary Physiology. The topics addressed in this book are central to her research where she tries unraveling the balance between the onset of inflammation in host protection and resolution of inflammation in host injury.
