Cell Autonomous and Non-cell Autonomous Regulation of SMC Progenitors in Pulmonary Hypertension

Cell Reports, 2018
Summary: Pulmonary hypertension is a devastating disease characterized by excessive vascular muscularization. We previously demonstrated primed platelet-derived growth factor receptor β+ (PDGFR-β+)/smooth muscle cell (SMC) marker+ progenitors at the ...

Vascular smooth muscle cells

, 2017
Abstract To understand the function of arteries in the regulation of blood supply throughout the body it is essential to realize that the vessel wall is composed predominantly of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) with only one single layer of luminal endothelial cells.

Cost‐Effective Hierarchical Cobalt Nanostructured Laser‐Induced Graphene for Enhanced Uric Acid Detection

Advanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.
A one‐step electrochemical strategy is utilized to develop a flexible, enzyme‐free biosensor for the sensitive detection of uric acid (UA). The hierarchical cobalt nanostructures synergistically enhance the performance of the biosensor, resulting in a broad detection range of 5 to 700 µM with a sensitivity of 6.75 µA µM−1 cm−2 and a low detection limit

Fibronectin Fibers Progressively Lose Their Tension in Invasive Human Breast Carcinoma while Being Tensed in DCIS and Healthy Breast Tissue

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Extracellular matrix remodeling is crucial in cancer progression. Using a peptide to probe the tension of ECM fibers, it was found that Fibronectin fibers gradually lose tension as human breast carcinoma progresses, while their tension is maintained in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), the non‐invasive precursor of breast cancer. This loss of tension is
