Smooth Muscle Cell Phenotypic Diversity.
Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology, 2019 Vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) play a critical role in controlling blood pressure and blood distribution, as well as maintaining the structural integrity of the blood vessel.

Regulation of human airway smooth muscle cell migration and relevance to asthma
Respiratory Research, 2017 Airway remodelling is an important feature of asthma pathogenesis. A key structural change inherent in airway remodelling is increased airway smooth muscle mass.

Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells and Arterial Stiffening: Relevance in Development, Aging, and Disease.
Physiological Reviews, 2017 The cushioning function of large arteries encompasses distension during systole and recoil during diastole which transforms pulsatile flow into a steady flow in the microcirculation.

Role of smooth muscle progenitor cells in vascular mechanical injury and repair
Medicine in Novel Technology and Devices, 2022 Smooth muscle progenitor cells are precursor cells that express both smooth muscle cell and stem cell markers, and can differentiate into smooth muscle cells under specific condition.

Caveolin-3 promotes a vascular smooth muscle contractile phenotype
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2015 Epidemiological studies have demonstrated the importance of cardiovascular diseases in Western countries. Among the cell types associated with a dysfunctional vasculature, smooth muscle cells are believed to play an essential role in the development of ...

A Case of Massive Broad Ligament Leiomyoma Imitating an Ovarian Tumour [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2014 Leiomyomas are the most common benign tumours of female reproductive system which occur in women of child- bearing ages. Large fibroids are known to arise from uterus, but rarely from broad ligament.
