Molecular biology of vascular hypertrophy
European Journal of Pharmacology, 1990In chronic models of hypertension such as the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR), thickening of the media of large arteries occurs mainly through smooth muscle cell (SMC) hypertrophy accompanied by DNA replication resulting in large polyploid cells. In resistance vessels of SHR, medial hypertrophy occurs through a hyperplastic response.

Vascular biology and vasculitis
APMIS, 2009The inflammation of blood vessel walls that is associated with autoimmune disorders characterized by anti‐neutrophil cytoplasm antibodies (ANCA) represents dysregulation of normal physiological processes, whereby neutrophils recruited to the vessel wall by cytokine‐activated endothelium show destructive behaviours that initiate damage with endothelial ...

Vascular biology is the study of the physiology of the vasculature and how it may be the target for disease processes. An understanding of vascular biology is central to the study of rheumatic disease for three reasons: it is an integral part of a functioning immune system; it is the primary site of pathology in many conditions; and it is the site of ...

Biology of vascular mural cells
Development, 2023ABSTRACT The vasculature consists of vessels of different sizes that are arranged in a hierarchical pattern. Two cell populations work in concert to establish this pattern during embryonic development and adopt it to changes in blood flow demand later in life: endothelial cells that line the inner surface of blood vessels, and adjacent ...

Biology of Vascularized Bone Grafts
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1987Vascularized canine fibular autografts demonstrated improved biologic and mechanical characteristics 3 months after surgery when compared with nonvascularized controls. The vascularized proximal fibula maintained its overall architecture without bony collapse or significant bone turnover. The strength and stiffness of these grafts were approximately 40

Hemodynamics and Vascular Endothelial Biology
Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1993The vascular endothelium, as the interface between flowing blood and the underlying vessel wall, not only resides in a hemodynamic environment, but also is a mediator of flow-related influences. In recent years, particularly with the advent of cell culture studies, much has been learned about the effects of this mechanical environment.

Vascular biology in implantation and placentation
Angiogenesis, 2005Pregnancy leads to dramatic changes of the vascular system of the mother and enables the development of a completely new vascular system within the growing embryo including the formation of the placenta as the exchange organ between both circulations.

Atherosclerosis and the vascular biology of aging
Aging Clinical and Experimental Research, 1996With advancing age, a series of structural, architectural and compositional modifications take place in the vasculature. The diameter of the vessels tends to increase, and thickening of intimal and medial layers is often observed. In the subendothelial space, blood-derived leukocytes and an increased amount of "activated" smooth muscle cells are ...
