Blood Vessel Endothelium

Molecular classification
Cell Type, Tissue Component
01

Overview

The blood vessel endothelium is a single layer of squamous endothelial cells that lines the interior surface of all blood vessels. It plays essential roles in vascular biology and homeostasis, including barrier function, vascular tone regulation, hemostasis, inflammation, and angiogenesis. Endothelial dysfunction is implicated in many diseases, including atherosclerosis, hypertension, and thrombosis.
