Implication

Endothelial-targeted therapies remain unchanged; extends mechanistic insights but leaves open clinical translation pending trials.

Key Points

To review recent advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms by which endothelial cells regulate cardiovascular biology and contribute to vascular disease.
Narrative synthesis of experimental research spanning two decades of endothelial cell biology and vascular pathophysiology.
Endothelial cells dynamically regulate vascular tone, liquid and solute permeability, coagulation cascades, and leukocyte adhesion during inflammation.
The endothelium actively secretes and modifies vasoactive substances while modulating vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and extracellular matrix composition.
Disruption of endothelial molecular pathways directly drives the pathogenesis and progression of diverse vascular diseases.
