Bindarit inhibits human coronary artery smooth muscle cell proliferation, migration and phenotypic switching [PDF]

, 2012
Bindarit, a selective inhibitor of monocyte chemotactic proteins (MCPs) synthesis, reduces neointimal formation in animal models of vascular injury and recently has been shown to inhibit in-stent late loss in a placebo-controlled phase II clinical trial.

A Single‐Component Adhesive Sponge Based on Blood‐Triggered and Autopenetrative Adhesion for Robust Vascular Closure

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents MonoSeal, a single‐component adhesive sponge powered by the novel Autopenetrative Adhesion (APA) mechanism. Unlike traditional adhesives, which require external stimuli, APA enables strong tissue adhesion under dynamic, high‐pressure bleeding conditions. MonoSeal's ability to autonomously seal large‐size arterial defects underscores

PIEZO Force Sensing in Vascular Biology: An Explosion of New Knowledge, Concepts and Opportunity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Knowledge of the remarkable mechanical force sensing and electrically transducing PIEZO1 and PIEZO2 channels is discussed across vascular biology and its cell types from the embryonic to adult stages in health, disease and old age. How the channels work, relate to other factors and signal for tissue responses to mechanical forces is debated.

A Soft‐Tip Hydraulically Steerable Catheter for Enhanced Flexibility and Safety in Vascular Interventions

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a hydraulically steerable catheter with a soft tip in vascular procedures. The steering soft tip achieves a minimal diameter of 2.6 mm and supports a 180° bend. Real‐time shape and position tracking, facilitated by segmentation and endpoint detection techniques, improves navigation.

Monitoring of the central blood pressure waveform via a conformal ultrasonic device. [PDF]

, 2018
Continuous monitoring of the central-blood-pressure waveform from deeply embedded vessels, such as the carotid artery and jugular vein, has clinical value for the prediction of all-cause cardiovascular mortality. However, existing non-invasive approaches,

Fibulin-4 is essential for maintaining arterial wall integrity in conduit but not muscular arteries [PDF]

, 2017
Homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in fibulin-4 (FBLN4) lead to autosomal recessive cutis laxa type 1B (ARCL1B), a multisystem disorder characterized by significant cardiovascular abnormalities, including abnormal elastin assembly, arterial ...
