The material and illustrations, provided by outstanding experts in their individual areas of research and clinical concentration, is artfully woven together to provide the reader with an integrated, in-depth, and up-to-date knowledge of endothelial function, vascular integrity, pulmonary function, and pathophysiology in respiratory failure.
Cell biologists researching vascular biology.
The cellular and molecular foundations of pulmonary edema; Molecular architecture of endothelium; The activated endothelial cell phenotypes; Membrane and cellular signaling of integrity and acute activation; Adenylyl cyclase and camp regulation of the endothelial barrier; Signaling of prolonged activation; Dynamic microfilaments and microtubules regulate endothelial function; Endothelial-matrix interactions in the lung; Interendothelial junctions and barrier integrity; Heterogeneity of lung endothelial cells; Interaction of endothelial cells with blood elements; Endothelial cell injury and defense; Endothelial injury due to infectious agents; Chronic lung vascular hyperpermeability; Advances in protection of endothelial barrier function; Looking to the future as keepers of the dam.
