Role of Interleukin-18 in vascular injury: a new pharmacological target for the prevention of restenosis [PDF]
, 2006 Background: Studies in humans as well as in animal models suggest that interleukin-18 (IL-18) plays a crucial role in vascular pathologies. IL-18 is a strong predictor of cardiovascular death in angina and is involved in atherotic plaque destabilization.

Advancing Human Skin Equivalents: The Crucial Role of Neurovascular Integration
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This review discusses the importance of integrating vascular and peripheral nerve systems into human skin equivalents (HSEs) to better recapitulate native skin physiology. Recent advances in vascularized, innervated, and neurovascularized HSEs are highlighted, together with emerging bioengineering strategies, current challenges, and future ...

URETHANE AND CONTRACTION OF VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLE [PDF]
British Journal of Pharmacology, 1979 In vitro studies were undertaken on rat aortic strips and portal vein segments in order to determine whether or not the anaesthetic, urethane, can exert direct actions on vascular smooth muscle. Urethane was found to inhibit development of spontaneous mechanical activity.

THICK FILAMENTS IN VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLE [PDF]
The Journal of Cell Biology, 1971 Two sets of myofilaments were demonstrated after incubation of strips of rabbit portal-anterior mesenteric vein under moderate stretch in a physiological salt solution. Thick filaments had a mean diameter of 18 nm and reached a maximum length of 1.4 µm with a mean length of 0.61 µm.

Ablation of smooth muscle myosin heavy chain SM2 increases smooth muscle contractility and results in postnatal death in mice [PDF]
, 2008 The smooth muscle myosin heavy chains (SMHC) are motor proteins powering smooth muscle contraction. Alternate splicing of SHMC gene at the C-terminus produces SM1, and SM2 myosin isoforms; SM2 (200 kDa) contains a unique 9-amino-acid sequence at the ...
