Simulations demonstrate a simple network to be sufficient to control branch point selection, smooth muscle and vasculature formation during lung branching morphogenesis [PDF]
G. Celli\`ere, D Menshykau and Dagmar Iber (2012) Biology Open 1,
775-788, 2012 Proper lung functioning requires not only a correct structure of the conducting airway tree, but also the simultaneous development of smooth muscles and vasculature. Lung branching morphogenesis is strongly stereotyped and involves the recursive use of only three modes of branching.

Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells and Arterial Stiffening: Relevance in Development, Aging, and Disease.
Physiological Reviews, 2017 The cushioning function of large arteries encompasses distension during systole and recoil during diastole which transforms pulsatile flow into a steady flow in the microcirculation.

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 ...

Role of smooth muscle progenitor cells in vascular mechanical injury and repair
Medicine in Novel Technology and Devices, 2022 Smooth muscle progenitor cells are precursor cells that express both smooth muscle cell and stem cell markers, and can differentiate into smooth muscle cells under specific condition.

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.

Learning Control Policies for Imitating Human Gaits [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The work presented in this report introduces a framework aimed towards learning to imitate human gaits. Humans exhibit movements like walking, running, and jumping in the most efficient manner, which served as the source of motivation for this project.

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.
