Vascular stiffness in insulin resistance and obesity [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2015 Obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes are associated with a substantially increased prevalence of vascular fibrosis and stiffness, with attendant increased risk of cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease. Although the underlying mechanisms and mediators of vascular stiffness are not well understood, accumulating evidence supports the role ...

Predicting the vascular adhesion of deformable drug carriers in narrow capillaries traversed by blood cell [PDF]
Journal of Fluid and Structures 82 (2018) 638-650, 2022 In vascular targeted therapies, blood-borne carriers should realize sustained drug release from the luminal side towards the diseased tissue. In this context, such carriers are required to firmly adhere to the vessel walls for a sufficient period of time while resisting force perturbations induced by the blood flow and circulating cells. Here, a hybrid

Calcium signals that determine vascular resistance
Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Systems Biology and Medicine, 2019 Small arteries in the body control vascular resistance, and therefore, blood pressure and blood flow. Endothelial and smooth muscle cells in the arterial walls respond to various stimuli by altering the vascular resistance on a moment to moment basis ...
