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 ...

Extreme Biomimetics: formation of zirconium dioxide nanophase using chitinous scaffolds under hydrothermal conditions

Journal of Materials Chemistry B, 2013
Chitinous scaffolds isolated from the skeleton of marine sponge Aplysina cauliformis were used as a template for the in vitro formation of zirconium dioxide nanophase from ammonium zirconium(iv) carbonate (AZC) under extreme conditions (150 °C). These novel zirconia-chitin based composites were prepared for the first time using hydrothermal synthesis ...
