The workhorse liver cells, called hepatocytes, sit next to cells that store fat, immune cells and endothelial cells.

The VEGF gene is so-called because it controls production of a substance known as vascular endothelial growth factor.

This is sometimes referred to as endothelial keratoplasty or posterior lamellar endothelial keratoplasty.

He said further research was needed to determine whether there was a definite cause and effect relationship between a decrease in endothelial progenitor cells and cardiovascular disease.

They were then able to give the mice higher doses of radiation therapy with no ill effect by blocking a mechanism by which endothelial cells communicate with each other.

Previous research has indicated that a substance called nitric oxide, which is released from the endothelial cells, keeps the artery in good condition by stimulating the production of muscle in its wall.
