Cechy ultrastrukturalne prawidłowego i dysfunkcyjnego śródbłonka naczyń krwionośnych Michał Walski, Małgorzata Frontczak-Baniewicz

Endothelium of the blood vessels plays a very important role in blood circulation, inflammation, atherosclerosis and cancer progression. We describe the ultrastructural morphology, function of endothelium and its participation in vessel formation during regenerative or inflammatory processes in adults. Transmission and scanning electron microscopic studies indicate on endothelial cell function in atherosclerotic plaque formation.
