Microvascular refers to the extremely small blood vessels in our bodies. These tiny vessels help transport oxygen and nutrients to our cells and remove waste products.
Full definition
We capitalized on one of the innate responses of
microvascular endothelial cells, i.e., the up - regulation of cell adhesion molecules in response to inflammatory agents, to generate endothelial cell lines from different organs.
This combination of a special diet and liver supplements will help his liver remain healthy and prevent any worsening of hepatic

This means younger people with diabetes are more at risk
of microvascular complications since they are more likely to have diabetes for longer over their lifetimes than those diagnosed at an older age, and should be targeted for more intensive interventions to help control their blood sugar.
By contrast, only diabetes duration is independently associated with the risk of
microvascular complications, and the effects of diabetes duration are greatest at younger rather than older ages.
One might confuse the signs of a finicky eater that is just spoiled, has dental problems, epilepsy, toy breed hypoglycemia, hydrocephalus, inflammatory bowel disease, or simply behavioral issues with

brain microvascular endothelial cells.
The epithelium's maturation into a villus intestinal epithelium with long finger - like extensions was helped along by co-culturing human
intestinal microvascular endothelial cells on the opposite side of the shared matrix - coated porous membrane in the «vascular» channel where they assembled a surrogate blood vessel with a hollow lumen through which feeding medium was flowed.
Doctors can detect coronary
microvascular syndrome if they perform a special type of angiogram, says Dr. Bairey Merz, who is working to develop new noninvasive tests for the syndrome.
The associations between age (or age at diagnosis), diabetes duration and major macrovascular events, all - cause death and
major microvascular events were examined in 11,140 patients with type 2 diabetes randomly allocated to intensive or standard glucose control in this study.

A liver biopsy specimen is also taken at the time of surgery to rule out presence of other disease processes such
as microvascular dysplasia.
Studies at autopsy of people who had dementia have detected many of these so - called
microvascular infarcts either by themselves or along with the plaques and tangles more typical of Alzheimer's in the brains of people with dementia.
Fifty - one percent of surgically treated patients underwent a procedure called

«We already
know microvascular function is negatively impacted by breathing nanomaterials,» Nurkiewicz said, summarizing his research program's discoveries over the previous years.
Substantial vascular damage is a major pathologic feature of both subacute and chronic stroke caused by an extended period of
microvascular permeability after the BSCB loses integrity.
These stroke - related alterations in the cervical spinal cord indicate pervasive and long - lasting BSCB damage that would severely affect spinal cord function, wrote the researchers, adding that the
widespread microvascular impairment in the gray and white matter of the cervical spinal cord aggravated motor neuron deterioration and had the potential to cause motor dysfunction.
To determine whether endothelial cells — the cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels — directly influence breast cancer cell growth, they then created unique organotypic models of lung and bone
marrow microvascular niches, in which endothelial cells formed blood vessel - like structures in culture as they would in the original organ.

Mitragotri's lab tested the efficacy of rod - shaped nanoparticles in synthesized networks of channels called «
synthetic microvascular networks,» or SMNs, that mimic conditions inside blood vessels.
To overcome these limitations, we used two - color flow cytometry to identify and
select microvascular endothelial cells from primary cultures obtained from different organs of mice whose tissues harbor a temperature - sensitive SV40 large T antigen (H - 2Kb - tsA58 mice; ImmortoMice).

This hypothesis is corroborated by animal studies showing that angiogenesis was negatively influenced by estrogen loss in oophorectomized animals (290), whereas estrogen therapy induced collateral and
microvascular remodeling in a similar animal model (291).
He is an expert
