The cutaneous vasculature is a dynamic network that responds to its environment depending upon specific demands in time and space. Changes in its functional role can be observed as changes in gross structure, or by alterations in specific gene expression or function. The improved understanding in mechanisms by which EC participate in inflammatory, neoplastic, and reparative processes will likely reap great benefits in our understanding and treatment of cutaneous disease.
