| Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis | <syndrome> A syndrome characterised by heterochromia of the iris, iridocyclitis, keratic precipitates, and cataract. Synonym: Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Fuchs' syndrome | <syndrome> A syndrome characterised by heterochromia of the iris, iridocyclitis, keratic precipitates, and cataract. Synonym: Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Fuchs' uveitis | Anterior uveitis and depigmentation of the iris. Synonym: Fuchs' uveitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vascular endothelial growth factor | A growth factor that is responsible for the growth of blood vessels. (12 Dec 1998) |
| platelet endothelial cell activated protease | <enzyme> Degrades casein and fibrinogen; secreted by endothelial cells and activated in the extracellular medium by platelets; not inhibited by serine protease inhibitors, metalloproteinase inhibitors, or cystein protease inhibitors; pH optimum 7.5 Registry number: EC 3.4.99.- Synonym: pecap (26 Jun 1999) |
| high endothelial postcapillary venules | Venule's in the lymph nodes, tonsils, and Peyer's patches that have a high-walled endothelium through which blood lymphocytes migrate into the lymphatic parenchyma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia | A benign florid papillary endothelial proliferation within the veins of the skin or subcutis, less often in visceral blood vessels. Synonym: Masson's pseudoangiosarcoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iridocorneal endothelial syndrome | <syndrome> Syndrome of glaucoma, iris atrophy, decreased corneal endothelium, anterior peripheral synechia, and multiple iris nodules. Synonym: Cogan-Reese syndrome, iris-nevus syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endothelial | Pertaining to or made up of endothelium. (16 Dec 1997) |
| endothelial cell | A thin, flattened cell, a layer of them lines the inside surfaces of body cavities, blood vessels, and lymph vessels, making up the endothelium. (09 Oct 1997) |
| endothelial cyst | A serous cyst whose sac is lined with endothelium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endothelial growth factors | These growth factors are soluble mitogens secreted by a variety of organs. The factors are a mixture of two single chain polypeptides which have affinity to heparin. Their molecular weight are organ and species dependent. They have mitogenic and chemotactic effects and can stimulate endothelial cells to grow and synthesise DNA. The factors are related to both the basic and acidic fibroblast growth factors but have different amino acid sequences. (12 Dec 1998) |
| endothelial leukocyte | Old term for a monocyte, a type of leukocyte thought to be derived from reticuloendothelial tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endothelial-leukocyte adhesion molecule | 115,000 Mw molecule on the surface of endothelial cells that is involved in blood leukocyte attachment to vessel walls as well as emigration from the vessels into the tissues. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endothelial myeloma | A malignant primary bone tumour that arises most commonly in the first three decades of life. It is highly malignant (prone to spread) and often requires treatment with some combination of radiation therapy and chemotherapy. (27 Sep 1997) |
