Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is a member of an immunoglobulin-like
superfamily of adhesion molecules that mediate leukocyte adhesion to vascular …

Due to the radiosensitivity of the lung, toxic endpoints, in the form of radiation pneumonitis
and pulmonary fibrosis, are relatively frequent outcomes following radiation treatment of …

Endothelial dysfunction comprising impairment of endothelium-dependent vasodilator
function and increased endothelial activation contributes to the pathophysiology of …

Angiotensin II (Ang II) is implicated in the proinflammatory process in various disease
situations. Thus, we sought to determine the role of Ang II in early inflammation-induced …

The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been demonstrated to play a critical role in the
initiation and progression of atherosclerosis, thereby contributing to development of …

Preterm birth incurs an increased risk of early cardiovascular events and death. In the
general population, cardiovascular risk factors cluster in the context of inflammation and …

Background/Aims: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease. Intracellular adhesion
molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cellular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), and monocyte …

Abstract Angiotensin‐II (AII), the dominant effector of the renin–angiotensin system, is
involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis …

Introduction Microvascular dysregulation characterized by hyporesponsive vessels and
heterogeneous bloodflow is implicated in the pathogenesis of organ failure in sepsis. The …

Monocyte and adhesion infiltration into the arterial subendothelium are initial steps in
hypertension development. The endothelial intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) has …
