Changes of smooth muscle contractile filaments in small bowel atresia [PDF]
, 2012 AIM: To investigate morphological changes of intestinal smooth muscle contractile fibres in small bowel atresia patients. METHODS: Resected small bowel specimens from small bowel atresia patients (n = 12) were divided into three sections (proximal ...

Microstructural analysis of skeletal muscle force generation during aging. [PDF]
, 2020 Human aging results in a progressive decline in the active force generation capability of skeletal muscle. While many factors related to the changes of morphological and structural properties in muscle fibers and the extracellular matrix (ECM) have been ...

Calcium Handling in Airway Smooth Muscle: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications
Canadian Respiratory Journal, 1998 Calcium plays a central role in the activation of many cellular processes, including the most relevant end-point in airway smooth muscle physiology: contraction.

Close relation of arterial ICC-like cells to the contractile phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cell [PDF]
, 2007 This work aimed to establish the lineage of cells similar to the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), the arterial ICC-like (AIL) cells, which have recently been described in resistance arteries, and to study their location in the artery wall.

Opiate Modulation of Gastrointestinal Motility and the Actions of Trimebutine
Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1991 Trimebutine is an opiate ligand that interacts with the μ, σ and κ receptor subclasses with approximately equal affinity. Since opiate receptors are widely distributed in the gut, and because opiate receptor subtypes may be involved in excitatory or ...

Vascular smooth muscle Sirtuin-1 protects against aortic dissection during Angiotensin II-induced hypertension [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: Sirtuin-1 (SirT1), a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide(+)-dependent deacetylase, is a key enzyme in the cellular response to metabolic, inflammatory, and oxidative stresses; however, the role of endogenous SirT1 in the vasculature has not ...

Development and Application of a Functional Human Esophageal Mucosa Explant Platform to Eosinophilic Esophagitis. [PDF]
, 2019 There is an increasing prevalence of esophageal diseases but intact human tissue platforms to study esophageal function, disease mechanisms, and the interactions between cell types in situ are lacking.
