About This Book
Endothelial Signaling in Vascular Dysfunction and Disease: From Bench to Bedside provides a detailed understanding of the endothelium, its activation and their link to some common clinical disorders. In addition, the book covers earlier discoveries, including those from the last and 19th centuries. It is split into five sections that cover the vascular tree as an integrative structure, the endothelium in inflammation, endothelial signaling, activation and toxicity with chemotherapy, radiation induced endothelial dysfunction and vascular disease, and therapies in combating vascular diseases. Each section is discussed with a translational approach in order to make the content truly applicable.
This book is a valuable source for basic researchers, clinicians in the fields of Oncology, Cardiovascular Medicine and Radiology, and members of the biomedical field who are conducting studies related to the endothelium and vascular disease.
- Discusses the most relevant discoveries in endothelial biology and their link to manifestations of clinical disease
- Presents history and diagrams in each section to highlight the original biological discovery and its link of clinical manifestations of vascular disease
- Includes recent findings on the relationship between endothelial signaling, chemotherapy and radiation induced endothelial dysfunction
