endothelial permeability studies

Endothelial permeability studies assess how easily substances, like fluids or molecules, pass through the lining of blood vessels called the endothelium. These studies help researchers understand the barriers' integrity and how they respond to various conditions or treatments, such as inflammation or drugs. By measuring the movement of tracers or dyes across the endothelium in laboratory models or live subjects, scientists can evaluate how well the blood vessel walls control substance exchange, which is crucial for maintaining tissue health and understanding diseases like edema, cancer, and cardiovascular conditions.
