What are the Physiological Roles of Endothelial Activation?
Endothelial activation is essential for various physiological processes: - Inflammation: Facilitates the recruitment of leukocytes to sites of infection or injury. - Coagulation: Balances pro-thrombotic and anticoagulant activities to prevent bleeding. - Angiogenesis: Promotes the formation of new blood vessels during wound healing and tissue growth.
