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.

Smooth muscle strips for intestinal tissue engineering. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Functionally contracting smooth muscle is an essential part of the engineered intestine that has not been replicated in vitro. The purpose of this study is to produce contracting smooth muscle in culture by maintaining the native smooth muscle ...

Long non-coding RNAs: Modulators of phenotypic transformation in vascular smooth muscle cells
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022 Long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs) are longer than 200 nucleotides and cannot encode proteins but can regulate the expression of genes through epigenetic, transcriptional, and post-transcriptional modifications.

Connexin 43 is Localized in Gizzard Smooth Muscle Cells during Chicken Development
The Journal of Poultry Science, 2022 Smooth muscle cells are widely distributed in the digestive organs of chickens. They exist as single cells, but adhere to each other to function synchronously.

Generation of myogenic progenitor cell-derived smooth muscle cells for sphincter regeneration
Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2020 Background Degeneration of smooth muscles in sphincters can cause debilitating diseases such as fecal incontinence. Skeletal muscle-derived cells have been effectively used in clinics for the regeneration of the skeletal muscle sphincters, such as the ...

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 ...

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.
