Differential Regulation of Lung Endothelial Permeability in Vitro and in Situ

Differential Regulation of Lung Endothelial Permeability in Vitro and in Situ

In the lungs, increased vascular permeability can lead to acute lung injury. Because vascular permeability is regulated primarily by endothelial cells, many researchers have studied endothelial cell monolayers in culture, in order to understand the pathomechanisms of pulmonary edema. Such studies ar...
