Macrophagelike Properties of Endothelial Cells

US Ryan

Despite their separate embryological origins, endothelial cells and macrophages have many functional similarities. Both can bind and ingest particulates, including live bacteria, with consequent responses, including a respiratory brust, augmented phagocytic activity, accelerated migration, and cell division. However, endothelial cells are less effective at killing ingested organisms, which may lead to complications.
