  2. Endothelial stem cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endothelial_stem_cell

    These cell types accelerate the healing process and prevent further complications such as hypoxia by gathering the cellular materials to reconstruct the endothelium. [19] Endothelium dysfunction is a prototypical characteristic of vascular disease, which is common in patients with autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus. [20]

  3. Endothelial dysfunction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endothelial_dysfunction

    Treatment of hypertension and hypercholesterolemia may improve endothelial function in people taking statins (HMGCoA-reductase inhibitor), and renin angiotensin system inhibitors, such as ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor antagonists. [28] [29] Calcium channel blockers and selective beta 1 antagonists may also improve endothelial ...

  4. Endothelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endothelium

    A healthy diet abundant in fruits and vegetables has a beneficial impact on endothelial function, whilst a diet high in red and processed meats, fried foods, refined grains and processed sugar increases adhesion endothelial cells and atherogenic promoters. [32] High-fat diets adversely affect the endothelial function. [33]

    It develops due to damage to the innermost layer of your arteries — the endothelium. It’s a form of vascular disease, which is a broad term for conditions that affect your blood vessels ...

  6. Vascular endothelial growth factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_endothelial...

    Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF, / v ɛ dʒ ˈ ɛ f /), originally known as vascular permeability factor (VPF), [1] is a signal protein produced by many cells that stimulates the formation of blood vessels. To be specific, VEGF is a sub-family of growth factors, the platelet-derived growth factor family of cystine-knot growth factors.

  7. Regeneration in humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regeneration_in_humans

    This is in contrast to wound healing, or partial regeneration, which involves closing up the injury site with some gradation of scar tissue. Some tissues such as skin, the vas deferens , and large organs including the liver can regrow quite readily, while others have been thought to have little or no capacity for regeneration following an injury.

  8. Wound healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_healing

    Timing is important to wound healing. Critically, the timing of wound re-epithelialization can decide the outcome of the healing. [11] If the epithelization of tissue over a denuded area is slow, a scar will form over many weeks, or months; [12] [13] If the epithelization of a wounded area is fast, the healing will result in regeneration.

  9. Vitamin C megadosage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_C_megadosage

    A 2014 meta-analysis showed a significant positive effect of vitamin C on endothelial function in people where this function was negatively affected by atherosclerosis, diabetes or heart failure. [44] Endothelial function refers to how well the endothelium (the thin layer of cells lining the inside of blood vessels) works. [45]
