Defining smooth muscle cells and smooth muscle injury [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2005 For 3 decades, terms such as synthetic phenotype and contractile phenotype have been used to imply the existence of a specific mechanism for smooth muscle cell (SMC) responses to injury. In this issue of the JCI, Hendrix et al. offer a far more precise approach to examining the mechanisms of SMC responses to injury, focused not on general changes in ...

Sepsis downregulates aortic Notch signaling to produce vascular hyporeactivity in mice
Scientific Reports, 2022 Inhibition of Notch signaling in macrophages is known to reduce inflammation, however, its role in regulating vascular hyporeactivity in sepsis is unknown. Thus we aimed to evaluate the effect of sepsis on vascular Notch signaling.

Smooth muscle strips for intestinal tissue engineering. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Functionally contracting smooth muscle is an essential part of the engineered intestine that has not been replicated in vitro. The purpose of this study is to produce contracting smooth muscle in culture by maintaining the native smooth muscle ...

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2014 The prime function of the arterial smooth muscle cell (SMC) in adult individuals is to contract and relax, thereby regulating blood flow to target tissues. However, in several vascular diseases, arterial SMCs in the adult vessel undergo major changes in structure and function.
