Great advances havebeen made over the last decade in the understanding of the endothelialcells as integrators and transducers of signals originating from theblood stream. The pluripotent control functions of the endothelialcells in the vessel wall are now well recognized. A review ofendothelial functions and dysfunctions is presented. .Cell biology and molecular genetic studies have now identified anarray of molecules elaborated by endothelial cells and vascular smoothmuscle cells and by the blood-borne elements which interact withartery cells, defending the artery against injury and modulatingevolving abnormal processes. Molecules which induce or inhibitendothelial and/or smooth muscle cells are currently under greatscrutiny.
