Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2005 We previously reported the relationship between α1-adrenoceptor-mediated contraction and phosphorylation of 20-kDa myosin light chain (LC20) in de-endothelialized rat caudal arterial smooth muscle at room temperature (Mita M, Walsh MP. Biochem J.

MicroRNA26 attenuates vascular smooth muscle maturation via endothelial BMP signalling.
PLoS Genetics, 2019 As small regulatory transcripts, microRNAs (miRs) act as genetic 'fine tuners' of posttranscriptional events, and as genetic switches to promote phenotypic switching. The miR miR26a targets the BMP signalling effector, smad1.

Journal of Cell Biology, 1986 A monoclonal antibody (anti-alpha sm-1) recognizing exclusively alpha- smooth muscle actin was selected and characterized after immunization of BALB/c mice with the NH2-terminal synthetic decapeptide of alpha- smooth muscle actin coupled to keyhole ...

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Current radiotherapy practices rely on manual contouring of CT scans, which is time‐consuming, prone to variability, and requires highly trained experts. There is a need for more efficient and consistent contouring methods. This study evaluated the performance of the Varian Ethos AI auto‐contouring tool to assess its potential integration into

Respiratory Research, 2018 Background Airway smooth muscle contraction is critical for maintenance of appropriate airway tone, and has been implicated in asthma pathogenesis. Smooth muscle contraction requires an “engine” (myosin activation) and a “transmission system” (actin ...

Ureter smooth muscle cell orientation in rat is predominantly longitudinal. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 In ureter peristalsis, the orientation of the contracting smooth muscle cells is essential, yet current descriptions of orientation and composition of the smooth muscle layer in human as well as in rat ureter are inconsistent.

Prediction of Muscle Activations for Reaching Movements using Deep Neural Networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 The motor control problem involves determining the time-varying muscle activation trajectories required to accomplish a given movement. Muscle redundancy makes motor control a challenging task: there are many possible activation trajectories that accomplish the same movement.

Phosphate regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell calcification.
Circulation Research, 2000 Vascular calcification is a common finding in atherosclerosis and a serious problem in diabetic and uremic patients. Because of the correlation of hyperphosphatemia and vascular calcification, the ability of extracellular inorganic phosphate levels to ...

Cortical Excitability Before and After Long‐Term Perampanel Treatment for Epilepsy
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Antiseizure medications (ASMs), which may influence cortical excitability, are the mainstay of epilepsy treatment. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) helps evaluate cortical excitability. We assessed changes in TMS responses using serial TMS measurements in people treated with an adjunctive noncompetitive AMPA‐receptor ...
