Abstract

Endothelial cells have a central role in regulation of vascular permeability and the coagulation mechanism1,2. Rather than passively controlling these functions, there are multiple active mechanisms through which endothelial cells contribute to the maintenance of barrier function and fluidity of blood. Control of vascular homeostasis by endothelial cells occurs in response to environmental stimuli. Recent work has focussed attention on cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor/cachectin (TNF) and Interleukin 1, mediators of the host response which alter a range of endothelial properties and allow these cells to play a central role in the inflammatory response1.
