Endothelial Cell Loss

Endothelial cell loss refers to the depletion of endothelial cells, which are thin layers of cells lining blood vessels. These cells play a crucial role in maintaining vascular health, regulating blood flow, and preventing clotting. When endothelial cells are damaged or lost due to injury, disease, or aging, it can lead to issues such as inflammation, impaired circulation, and increased risk of cardiovascular problems. Protecting these cells is essential for overall vascular function and health. Factors like high blood pressure, smoking, and diabetes can contribute to their loss.
