Vascular smooth muscle cell mechanotransduction: Pathways, phenotypes and emerging technologies

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Vascular smooth muscle cells are exposed to mechanical stimuli from the blood flow and the extracellular matrix. The cells sense the signals from cyclic stretch, shear stress, hydrostatic pressure and matrix stiffness through specialized mechanosensors, such as mechanosensitive ion channels or cell surface receptors including ...

Congenital heart disease in pregnancy and severe maternal morbidity: A distributed data network study

Pregnancy, Volume 2, Issue 5, September 2026.
Abstract Introduction Pregnant people with congenital heart disease (CHD) are a growing patient population in obstetrics, yet evidence on the risk for severe maternal morbidity (SMM) has largely been limited to studies that lack specificity for CHD. We conducted this study to demonstrate the utility of distributed data networks for obstetric research ...

Evidence of a Protective Effect of Metformin on Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Risk: Insights From an Observational Study and Mendelian Randomisation Analysis Using Putative Metformin Targets

Annals of Human Genetics, Volume 90, Issue 5, Page 294-302, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims There is no proven treatment to prevent the growth or rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). As an aneurysm enlarges over time, the risk of fatal aortic rupture increases. Metformin, a drug usually prescribed to treat Type 2 diabetes, has previously been associated with reduced AAA risk in observational studies. Our aim was to assess

Severe Dilatation of Coronary Artery Ostium Complicating Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm: Differential Diagnosis and Review of the Literature

Case Reports in Cardiology, 2017
Coronary artery dilatation may be due to various aetiologies including congenital anomalies, atherosclerotic coronary disease, and Kawasakis disease. We describe a case characterised by apparent severe dilatation of the right coronary artery ostium in an

Optimization of Magnetic Milli‐Spinner for Robotic Endovascular Intervention

Advanced Robotics Research, Volume 2, Issue 4, August 2026.
This work presents the design optimization of a multifunctional magnetic milli‐spinner for high‐speed propulsion and efficient clot debulking. The optimized design achieves an ultrafast swimming velocity of 55 cm/s (≈175 body lengths/s) in saline water, enabling stable upstream swimming against strong physiological flows and establishing magnetic milli‐
