In this issue, BJP is proud to publish an Endothelium Themed Section to celebrate the life of Robert F. Furchgott, who died on May 19th 2009. It is 30 years since he discovered endothelium-derived relaxant factor and a decade since he was awarded the Nobel Prize for this work. His discovery has led to an array of new therapeutic targets. The themed section includes three reviews on the pathophysiology of the endothelium and the drug targets that this presents, four research papers and three commentaries on research. This themed section also forms the nucleus of an online Virtual Issue that collects in one place further reviews and research papers on the topic of the 'Endothelium' that BJP and our sister journal BJCP have published in the past year, and that should help researchers and students to find the latest work in this field.
在本期中，《英国药理学期刊》很荣幸出版一期内皮细胞主题专刊，以纪念于2009年5月19日去世的罗伯特·F·弗奇戈特。自他发现内皮源性舒张因子已有30年，自他因这项工作获得诺贝尔奖也已过去十年。他的发现催生了一系列新的治疗靶点。该主题专刊包括三篇关于内皮细胞病理生理学及其所呈现的药物靶点的综述、四篇研究论文以及三篇研究评论。这个主题专刊还构成了一个在线虚拟专刊的核心内容，该虚拟专刊汇集了《英国药理学期刊》及其姊妹期刊《英国临床药理学杂志》在过去一年里发表的关于“内皮细胞”主题的更多综述和研究论文，这将有助于研究人员和学生找到该领域的最新研究成果。
