Integrin-linked kinase functions as a downstream signal of platelet-derived growth factor to regulate actin polymerization and vascular smooth muscle cell migration

BMC Cell Biology, 2010
Background Vascular smooth muscle cell migration and accumulation in response to growth factors extensively contribute to the development of intimal thickening within the vessel wall.

Programmable Compliance in Small‐Diameter Vascular Grafts by Design of Melt‐Electrowritten Scaffold Architectures for In Situ Tissue Engineering

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Small‐diameter vascular grafts with compliance tunable by design are fabricated via melt electrowriting. By controlling the winding angle of intertwined helical fibers, grafts with compliances matching those of human vessels, from veins to arteries, are realized. This holds the potential of avoiding a compliance mismatch, which has been identified as a

Coordinated Development of Immune Cell Populations in Vascularized Skin Organoids from Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Vascularized skin organoids are developed from human induced pluripotent stem cells and contain macrophages, Langerhans cells, and neutrophils. Vascularized skin organoids offer a transformative platform to model skin biology and enable mechanistic investigations of inflammatory and hematologic skin disorders.

Functional preservation of vascular smooth muscle tissue [PDF]

The ionic and cellular feedback relationships operating to effect the vascular decompensatory modifications were examined to reveal procedures for implementing protective measures guarding against vascular collapse when returning from a weightless ...

Microscopically Adaptable Bioink Guide Cell Compartmentalization toward Morphogenesis of a Functional Vasculature‐Like System

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Contractile vasculatures are fabricated through a one‐step bioprinting strategy. The adaptable microenvironment provided by ECM‐mimicking bioink triggers cell sorting and compartmentalization of endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells toward a histological configuration by focal adhesion kinase‐mediated upregulation of cell adhesion and ...

Transfer and Expression of the Interferon Gamma Gene in Human Endothelial Cells Inhibits Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Growth in Vitro

Cell Transplantation, 1997
Intimal hyperplasia in blood vessels is primarily caused by the migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells. Excessive intimal thickening characterizes atherosclerosis as well as bypass graft and angioplasty failures.

Uniting 4D Printing and Melt Electrowriting for the Enhancement of Regenerative Small Diameter Vascular Grafts

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A hybrid 4D printing strategy enables the fabrication of shape‐morphing, mechanically reinforced tubular constructs for vascular tissue engineering. By combining alginate‐methylcellulose hydrogels with melt electrowritten polycaprolactone fibers and protein‐based functionalization, this platform supports spatially organized co‐cultures of fibroblasts ...

Double labelling immunohistochemical characterization of autonomic sympathetic neurons innervating the sow retractor clitoridis muscle [PDF]

, 2008
Retrograde neuronal tracing and immunohistochemical methods were used to define the neurochemical content of sympathetic neurons projecting to the sow retractor clitoridis muscle (RCM). Differently from the other smooth muscles of genital organs, the RCM
