The 15 papers cover pulmonary circulation, gene manipulation in the vasculature, thrombosis and hypertension, inflammation and angiogenesis, cerebral circulation and atherosclerosis, and gene transfer in the vasculature. Specific topics include the nitric oxide modulation of gene expression, the rol

The focus of the June 1990 workshop (the second in as many years on endothelial biology): diseases, such as atherosclerosis, sepsis, ARDS, and stroke, based on their relevance to endothelial cell function and the need for new insights into their pathogenesis and treatment. Also examined in 22 papers

A compilation of the lectures and oral and poster communications presented at the NATO Advanced Study Institute held in Rhodes, Greece, June 1992. The lectures are arranged under five major thematic headings: free radicals/ischemia reperfusion injury; invasion and neoplasia; altered vascular reactiv

This monograph contains the contributions to the NATO Advanced Studies Institute on "Vascular Endothelium: Responses to Injury," which took place in Crete, Greece from June 18 to 27, 1994. This was the fourth in the series of NATO-supported ASIs in selected specific areas of endothelial cell biology, which began in 1988. Each time, it has combined clinical with basic scientists and renowned experts with novices in the field, in an attractive setting conducive to dissemination of knowledge, high quality discussions and exchange of ideas. This, as well as previous ASIs, reflects the hard work...
