Bindarit inhibits human coronary artery smooth muscle cell proliferation, migration and phenotypic switching. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Bindarit, a selective inhibitor of monocyte chemotactic proteins (MCPs) synthesis, reduces neointimal formation in animal models of vascular injury and recently has been shown to inhibit in-stent late loss in a placebo-controlled phase II clinical trial.

Protein changes associated with embryonic stem cell differentiation to vascular smooth muscle cells [PDF]
, 2006 PhDEmbryonic stem (ES) cells can differentiate into many different cell lines, including vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs). The aim of this project is to characterize protein changes during this differentiation process.

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 ...

Notch2 and Notch3 function together to regulate vascular smooth muscle development. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Notch signaling has been implicated in the regulation of smooth muscle differentiation, but the precise role of Notch receptors is ill defined. Although Notch3 receptor expression is high in smooth muscle, Notch3 mutant mice are viable and display only ...

Cell cultures of human ciliary muscle: growth, ultrastructural and immunocytochemical characteristics [PDF]
, 1991 Primary ciliary muscle cell cultures derived from human donors (16-91 years) were established and characterized by comparing them with ciliary muscle in tissue sections using immunocytochemical and ultrastructural methods.

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 ...

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 ...
