The vascular system, integral to organismal homeostasis, is composed of numerous organ-specific subsystems that, while sharing core features, exhibit unique characteristics tailored to specific organ needs. Central to these systems are endothelial and smooth muscle cells, which bear numerous receptors for hormones and endocrine factors that regulate vascular functions. These cells produce and release not only endocrine signals but also endocrine-like factors that contribute to systemic homeostasis. Dysfunction in the vascular or endocrine systems can lead to a cascade of disorders impacting both systems.
Followed up with our last volume ‘Endothelial Dysfunction and Endocrine Diseases’, this new Research Topic aims to compile and synthesize recent clinical and laboratory research that sheds light on vascular cell dysfunction in the pathogenesis and progression of various endocrine disorders. We seek to explore how disturbances in vascular cell function contribute to diseases such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and various hormonal imbalances, and assess the efficacy of new and existing therapeutic interventions that target vascular dysfunction in the treatment of these endocrine diseases.
To deepen our understanding in this field, we seek contributions that are focused on, but not limited to, the following themes:
o Etiology of vascular endothelial and/or smooth muscle cell dysfunction in endocrine disorders
o The role of vascular cells in the pathogenesis of endocrine disorders
o Biomarkers for vascular dysfunction in endocrine systems
o Non-invasive methods for identifying vascular dysfunction in endocrine disorders
o The impact of endocrine disorders on vascular cell health
o Interactions between COVID-19 and vascular dysfunction in endocrine disorders
o Therapeutic strategies to improve or reverse vascular dysfunction in the context of endocrine disorders
o Preventative approaches against vascular dysfunction in endocrine disorders
We welcome Original Research papers and Review articles that contribute to a better understanding of these topics.
