UnTEThering (Smooth Muscle) Cell Plasticity [PDF]
Circulation, 2013 Cellular plasticity has become the subject of intense research, with perhaps the greatest example provided by the recent Nobel Prize winners Drs Yamananka and Gurdon and the demonstration that terminally differentiated fibroblasts can be coaxed into assuming an embryonic stem cell-like fate.

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 ...

The Journal of Cell Biology, 1971 These studies have examined the ability of smooth muscle cells from developing aorta of the prepubertal rat to utilize amino acids in the synthesis and secretion of connective tissue proteins. Prepubertal rats, previously given either an alcohol carrier or estradiol-17-beta, were each given an intravenous injection of proline-3H.

Differentiation of multipotent vascular stem cells contributes to vascular diseases. [PDF]
, 2012 It is generally accepted that the de-differentiation of smooth muscle cells, from the contractile to the proliferative/synthetic phenotype, has an important role during vascular remodelling and diseases.

Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells [PDF]
Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2016 Decades of work have shown that vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) phenotypes are controlled by cues received from the local environment.1–3 When nestled into a cage of cross-linked collagen and elastin of its own making,4 medial SMCs exhibit a fully differentiated phenotype conferred by the transcriptional activity of myocardin and serum response ...

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 ...

Retinoids and Arterial Smooth Muscle Cells [PDF]
Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2000 Retinoic acid (RA), the active metabolite of vitamin A, is a crucial signaling molecule during vertebrate development and plays key roles in establishing cell lineages as well as in cell differentiation and proliferation.1 RA has been shown to influence the expression of many genes ( see the Table⇓ ) through interactions between RA receptors (RARs) and
