The publication of the current ESC Textbook of Vascular Biology (edited by Robert Krams and Magnus Back) is timely, since it comes at a moment at which vascular biology as a science has fulfilled its promise. Indeed, it has shown that it can provide insights into the molecular mechanisms of vascular disease and that such findings can be translated to the clinical level to the benefit of cardiovascular patients. The editors and the authors should be congratulated for such an excellent textbook which, I am sure, will stimulate the next generation of vascular biologists and established investigators alike. And indeed, this is truly needed as many secrets of vascular biology wait to be discovered.
