Vascular system is both the natural route for delivery to the therapeutic targets in the body and, in many cases, represents a therapeutic site itself. In particular, endothelial cells lining the vascular luminal surface represent the target, barrier or victim of circulating nanomedicine agents. He will discuss design of nanomedicine agents targeted to endothelium, factors that control their cellular uptake, trafficking and effects, consider examples of their experimental therapeutic use in animal models of acute vascular conditions including inflammation and appraise translational aspects.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe Bioengineering Seminar Series is a joint seminar series between the Petit Institute and the Biomedical Engineering department.
