ANO1 channels are expressed in mouse urethral smooth muscle but do not contribute to agonist or neurally evoked contractions [PDF]
Scientific ReportsAnoctamin-1 Ca2+-activated Cl− channels (ANO1) are proposed to modulate contractility of urethra smooth muscle cells (USMC), but their cellular expression and contribution to agonist/neural evoked activity is unclear.

Rare giant perianal smooth muscle tumor: A case report [PDF]
Journal of International Medical ResearchSmooth muscle tumors are benign tumors originating from smooth muscle tissues, mostly occurring in the uterus and digestive tract; however, smooth muscle tumors occurring in the perianal sphincter are very rare.

Vascular smooth muscle cells in atherosclerosis:Time for a reassessment.
Cardiovascular Research, 2021 Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are key participants in both early and late-stage atherosclerosis. VSMCs invade the early atherosclerotic lesion from the media, expanding lesions, but also forming a protective fibrous cap rich in extracellular ...

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 ...

Fibronectin matrix polymerization regulates smooth muscle cell phenotype through a Rac1 dependent mechanism. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Smooth muscle cells are maintained in a differentiated state in the vessel wall, but can be modulated to a synthetic phenotype following injury. Smooth muscle phenotypic modulation is thought to play an important role in the pathology of vascular ...
