Regulation of PDGFRα+ cells and ICC in progesterone-mediated slow colon transit in pregnant mice

Heliyon
Background: Progesterone can inhibit intestinal smooth muscle contraction; however, the specific mechanism remains unclear. Besides smooth muscle cells, smooth muscle has two important mesenchymal cells, namely interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) and ...

Aquaporin-1 expression in visceral smooth muscle cells of female rat reproductive tract

, 2000
The aquaporins (AQ-s) are a group of intrinsic membrane proteins which facilitate movement of water across cell membranes ; their recent identification in the kidney has led to the reappraisal of the mechanisms and pathways of water movement across ...

Nongenomic effects of aldosterone on phosphocreatine levels in human calf muscle during recovery from exercise. [PDF]

, 1996
Nongenomic in vitro effects of aldosterone on the sodium-proton antiport and intracellular second messengers have been described in human mononuclear leukocytes, vascular smooth muscle cells, and endothelial cells.

The role of the notch signalling pathway in vascular smooth muscle cell apoptosis [PDF]

, 2004
The Notch signalling system is a highly conserved method of cell-to-cell communication involved in cell fate decisions in many cell types. Until recently, the importance of the Notch signalling pathway was recognized in the embryonic but not in the adult

Presence of smooth muscle continuous with the rectal and vaginal walls in the deep perineal space prompts reconsideration of the deep transverse perineal muscle

Scientific Reports
The deep transverse perineal muscle was considered a striated muscle within the deep perineal space; however, recent studies suggest that it consists of smooth muscle.

Do anionic phospholipids serve as cofactors or second messengers for the regulation of activity of cloned ATP-sensitive K+ channels? [PDF]

, 2003
The regulation of ion channels by anionic phospholipids is currently very topical. An outstanding issue is whether phosphatidylinositol 4,5-diphosphate and related species act as true second messengers in signaling or behave in a manner analogous to an ...
