The investigation of corpus cavernosum smooth muscle dysfunction in low-flow priapism. [PDF]
, 2007 Prolonged low-flow (ischaemic) priapism results in a progressive alteration of the microenvironment within the corpus cavemosum with the development of hypoxia, acidosis and glucopenia and a reduction in the responsiveness to a-adrenergic receptor ...

Smooth muscle cells largely develop independently of functional hemogenic endothelium
Stem Cell Research, 2014 Vascular smooth muscle cells represent a major component of the cardiovascular system. In vitro studies have shown that FLK1+ cells derived from embryonic stem (ES) cells can differentiate into both endothelial and smooth muscle cells.

Inflammation signals airway smooth muscle cell proliferation in asthma pathogenesis
Multidisciplinary Respiratory Medicine, 2013 Background Airway inflammation stimulates proliferation of airway smooth muscle cell, which contributes to the development of hyperplasia and hypertrophy of smooth muscle cell. The increase in airway smooth muscle cell mass is believed to be due to an up-

Endothelial cell impact on smooth muscle cell properties: role of hemodynamic forces [PDF]
, 2009 The vascular endothelium is a dynamic cell monolayer located at the interface of the vessel wall and bloodstream, where it regulates the physiological effects of humoral and hemodynamic stimuli on vessel tone and remodelling.

α-Smooth Muscle Actin and ACTA2 Gene Expressions in Vasculopathies
Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2015 α-smooth muscle actin, encoded by ACTA2 gene, is an isoform of the vascular smooth muscle actins, typically expressed in the vascular smooth muscle cells contributing to vascular motility and contraction. ACTA2 gene mutations cause a diversity of diffuse
