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 ...

Resident phenotypically modulated vascular smooth muscle cells in healthy human arteries. [PDF]
, 2012 Vascular interstitial cells (VICs) are non-contractile cells with filopodia previously described in healthy blood vessels of rodents and their function remains unknown.

Endothelin-Induced Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Calcium Depletion Waves in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells [PDF]
, 2011 Agonist-stimulated waves of elevated cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i ) regulate blood vessel tone and vasomotion in vascular smooth muscle. Previous studies employing cytoplasmic Ca2+ indicators revealed that these Ca2+ waves were generated by a ...

Notch signaling pathway in human vascular smooth muscle cell differentiation [PDF]
, 2006 Notch receptor-ligand interactions are a highly conserved mechanism, originally described in developmental studies using Drosophilae, that regulate inter-cell communication and dictate, in part, vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) fate in response to ...

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.

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 ...
