Beschreibung:
Article Histamine causes vascular leakage by a direct and yet mechanistically poorly defined effect on endothelium. Here, the authors show that histamine elicits endothelial RhoA/Rock signaling and that inhibition of this pathway preserves the vascular barrier, thereby identifying novel pharmacological targets for histamine-mediated diseases.
