Role of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Phenotypic Switching and Calcification in Aortic Aneurysm Formation.

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology, 2019
Aortic aneurysm is a vascular disease whereby the ECM (extracellular matrix) of a blood vessel degenerates, leading to dilation and eventually vessel wall rupture.

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 ...

Ablation of smooth muscle myosin heavy chain SM2 increases smooth muscle contractility and results in postnatal death in mice [PDF]

, 2008
The smooth muscle myosin heavy chains (SMHC) are motor proteins powering smooth muscle contraction. Alternate splicing of SHMC gene at the C-terminus produces SM1, and SM2 myosin isoforms; SM2 (200 kDa) contains a unique 9-amino-acid sequence at the ...

Generation of myogenic progenitor cell-derived smooth muscle cells for sphincter regeneration

Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2020
Background Degeneration of smooth muscles in sphincters can cause debilitating diseases such as fecal incontinence. Skeletal muscle-derived cells have been effectively used in clinics for the regeneration of the skeletal muscle sphincters, such as the ...

Acquired smooth muscle hamartoma: A case report on the lower extremity with hidrosis

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2019
Smooth muscle hamartomas are benign dermal proliferations of smooth muscle cells. Smooth muscle hamartomas are sub-divided into congenital or acquired; the latter is a rare entity with less than 20 cases being reported in the English literature.
