How can you use “vasculature” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
In the present study, we characterized the effects of acute endotoxemia on the response of a unique population of neutrophils, which we have previously demonstrated are tightly adhered to the lung vasculature [ 9 ] . Because of their location within the tissue, these cells are likely to be more relevant than circulating neutrophils, or neutrophils recovered by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), to the pathophysiology of endotoxin induced lung injury.
It is possible that NF-κB and CREB mediate the early phases of neutrophil activation, while C/EBP proteins function to maintain this response [ 50 ] . The observation that the temporal pattern of expression of activated C/EBP and PKB-α are similar suggests co-ordinated regulation of these proteins [ 51 ] . A decrease in activation of transcription factors like NF-κB and CREB and an increase in C/EBP may also contribute to reduced activity of pro-apoptotic genes, resulting in prolonged longevity of neutrophils in the lung vasculature.
The principle isoform that is found in the pulmonary vasculature is eNOS [ 4].
The present studies demonstrate that acute endotoxemia causes increases in the number of adherent neutrophils in the lung vasculature.
Bmp4 +/-heterozygotes have abnormally arranged retinal blood vessels and abnormal persistence of the hyaloid vasculature.
