Abstract Endothelial cells (ECs) are arranged side-by-side to create a semi-permeable monolayer, forming the inner lining of every blood vessel (micro and macrocirculation). Serving as first barrier for circulating molecules cells, ECs represent main regulators vascular homeostasis being able respond environmental changes, either physical or chemical signals, by producing several factors that regulate tone cellular adhesion. Healthy endothelium has anticoagulant properties prevent adhesion leukocytes platelets walls, contributing resistance thrombus formation, regulating inflammation, smooth muscle cell proliferation. Many risk cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) promote endothelial expression chemokines, cytokines, molecules. The resultant activation can lead dysfunction (ECD). In vitro models ECD allow study molecular mechanisms disease provide research platform screening potential therapeutic agents. Even though alternative available, such animal ex vivo models, in offer higher experimental flexibility reproducibility, making them valuable tool understanding pathophysiological diseases, CVDs. Therefore, this review aims synthesize currently available regarding ECD, emphasizing This work will focus on 2D culture (endothelial lines primary ECs), 3D systems (scaffold-free scaffold-based), (such organ-on-a-chip).
