Hypothesis-generating for calcium-dependent endothelial repair; leaves open translation to human vascular disease.
Platelets and vasoactive substances stimulate endothelial cell proliferation and calcium influx, suggesting a common calcium-dependent mechanism for maintaining endothelial integrity following injury.
D'Amore et al. (1977) studied this question.
