The organisation of vascular smooth muscle cells; a quantitative Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) based assessment [PDF]
Translational Research in Anatomy, 2019 Background: The existence of a helical arrangement of vascular smooth muscle cells in the wall of relatively large blood vessels has been known of for at least 80 years. In that time various workers have proposed mathematical models of vascular function

Preexisting High Expression of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 in Tunica Media of Saphenous Vein Conduits Is Associated with Unfavorable Long-Term Outcomes after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting [PDF]
BioMed Research International, 2013 Introduction. Migration of the smooth muscle cells (SMCs) to the tunica media in the saphenous vein (SV) transplants is facilitated by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). The aim of this study was to identify any associations between expression of MMP-2 or

Cluj Veterinary JournalThe presence of muscle islands in the tunica media of elastic arteries has been reported in both large and small ruminants. According to some authors, these islands can have a certain influence on the physical-mechanical properties and the pattern of ...

Electron microscopic comparison of the tunica media of the thoracic aorta between species.
The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1984 Previous observations indicate that the tunica media of the thoracic aorta of chickens contains two populations of cells (smooth muscle cells and connective tissue cells), whereas that of the mammalian species only contains one cell type (smooth muscle cells). It was considered that this difference in chickens: a) might occur in other avian species; b)

The LKLF transcription factor is required for normal tunica media formation and blood vessel stabilization during murine embryogenesis. [PDF]
Genes & Development, 1997 The transcriptional programs that regulate blood vessel formation are largely unknown. In this paper, we examine the role of the zinc finger transcription factor LKLF in murine blood vessel morphogenesis and homeostasis.
