Linchuang shenzangbing zazhi, 2022 Vascular calcification （VC） is a major cause of cardiovascular mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease （CKD）. Current studies suggest that VC of CKD is not simply an ectopic deposition of calcium phosphate crystals in vascular wall.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In this work, melt electrowriting is used to fabricate a 3D printed scaffold design that generates engineered cardiac tissues with in‐plane contraction, mimicking natural myocardium. It is shown that these tissues display advanced maturation and functionality.

Medial Injury/Dysfunction Induced Granulation Tissue Repair is the Pathogenesis of Atherosclerosis [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Atherosclerosis, a chronic lesion of vascular wall, remains a leading cause of death and loss of life years. Classical hypotheses for atherosclerosis are long-standing mainly to explain atherogenesis. Unfortunately, these hypotheses may not explain the variation in the susceptibility to atherosclerosis.

Smooth muscle cells and vascular diseases [PDF]
Cardiovascular Research, 2012 Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are the stromal cells of the vascular wall, and, due to their myosin/actin interactions, they are also responsible for arterial contractile tonus and regulating blood pressure and flow in relation to specific metabolic demands.

Voltage-dependent Ca2+ entry into smooth muscle during contraction promotes endothelium-mediated feedback vasodilation in arterioles [PDF]
, 2017 Vascular smooth muscle contraction is suppressed by feedback dilation mediated by the endothelium. In skeletal muscle arterioles, this feedback can be activated by Ca2+ signals passing from smooth muscle through gap junctions to endothelial cells, which ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Biofabrication aims at providing innovative technologies and tools for the fabrication of tissue‐like constructs for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. By integrating multiple biofabrication technologies, such as 3D (bio) printing with fiber fabrication methods, it would be more realistic to reconstruct native tissue's ...

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017 BackgroundDespite recent improvements in angioplasty and placement of drug‐eluting stents in treatment of atherosclerosis, restenosis and in‐stent thrombosis impede treatment efficacy and cause numerous deaths. Research efforts are needed to identify new

Optimal mechanical operation in the vicinity of curved vasculature [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 It has been shown that geometrical, structural properties vary along the length of the aortic arch. There is a scarcity of studies focus on the variation in the vessel wall thickness of aortic arch. The central premise of this study is that considering the variation in the vessel wall thickness along the circumference of the aortic arch to be governed ...

Magnetically Guided Mechanoactive Mineralization Scaffolds for Enhanced Bone Regeneration
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A 3D‐printed ‘rebar‐concrete’ inspired scaffold (PGS‐P@MGel) synergizes spontaneous biomineralization with magneto‐mechanical stimulation through PDA@Fe3O4‐embedded hydrogel. This dual biointerface activates Piezo1/β‐catenin/YAP mechanotransduction axis, enhancing BMSCs osteogenesis and angiogenesis simultaneously.
