Angiomyoma: An Unusual Diagnosis of Preauricular Swelling [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2018 Angiomyoma is a benign tumour arising from smooth muscle of blood vessel walls. These tumours are usually found in the lower extremities presenting as a painful mass.

Co-mapping Cellular Content and Extracellular Matrix with Hemodynamics in Intact Arterial Tissues Using Scanning Immunofluorescent Multiphoton Microscopy [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Deviation of blood flow from an optimal range is known to be associated with the initiation and progression of vascular pathologies. Important open questions remain about how the abnormal flow drives specific wall changes in pathologies such as cerebral aneurysms where the flow is highly heterogeneous and complex.

Verapamil inhibits calcification and matrix vesicle activity of bovine vascular smooth muscle cells [PDF]
, 2010 Calcium channel activity in vascular smooth muscle cells is a critical component during vascular calcification and formation of matrix vesicles. Here, we examined whether the blockade of L-type calcium channels inhibits these functions.

Role of noncoding RNA in vascular remodelling [PDF]
, 2016 Purpose of review: Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are becoming fundamentally important in the pathophysiology relating to injury-induced vascular remodelling.

Endothelial–Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Interactions in Atherosclerosis
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2018 Atherosclerosis is a chronic progressive inflammatory process that can eventually lead to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Despite available treatment, the prevalence of atherosclerotic CVD, which has become the leading cause of death worldwide, persists ...

Bindarit inhibits human coronary artery smooth muscle cell proliferation, migration and phenotypic switching [PDF]
, 2012 Bindarit, a selective inhibitor of monocyte chemotactic proteins (MCPs) synthesis, reduces neointimal formation in animal models of vascular injury and recently has been shown to inhibit in-stent late loss in a placebo-controlled phase II clinical trial.

Promoters to Study Vascular Smooth Muscle: Mistaken Identity?
Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology, 2019 Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are a critical component of blood vessel walls that provide structural support, regulate vascular tone, and allow for vascular remodeling. These cells also exhibit a remarkable plasticity that contributes to vascular growth and
