Spontaneous contractile dynamics of the vascular smooth muscle of the external carotid artery
Medisan, 2021 Introduction: The external carotid is a muscle artery irrigating all components of the masticatory system, so that the regulation of the contractile dynamics of its vascular smooth muscle is important.

Simulations demonstrate a simple network to be sufficient to control branch point selection, smooth muscle and vasculature formation during lung branching morphogenesis [PDF]
G. Celli\`ere, D Menshykau and Dagmar Iber (2012) Biology Open 1,
775-788, 2012 Proper lung functioning requires not only a correct structure of the conducting airway tree, but also the simultaneous development of smooth muscles and vasculature. Lung branching morphogenesis is strongly stereotyped and involves the recursive use of only three modes of branching.

Maintenance of GLUT4 expression in smooth muscle prevents hypertension‐induced changes in vascular reactivity [PDF]
, 2015 Previous studies have shown that expression of GLUT4 is decreased in arterial smooth muscle of hypertensive rats and mice and that total body overexpression of GLUT4 in mice prevents enhanced arterial reactivity in hypertension.

Modeling tissue perfusion in terms of 1d-3d embedded mixed-dimension coupled problems with distributed sources [PDF]
, 2019 We present a new method for modeling tissue perfusion on the capillary scale. The microvasculature is represented by a network of one-dimensional vessel segments embedded in the extra-vascular space. Vascular and extra-vascular space exchange fluid over the vessel walls.

Learning Control Policies for Imitating Human Gaits [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The work presented in this report introduces a framework aimed towards learning to imitate human gaits. Humans exhibit movements like walking, running, and jumping in the most efficient manner, which served as the source of motivation for this project.

Generation of vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells from human pluripotent stem cells
Nature Cell Biology, 2015 The use of human pluripotent stem cells for in vitro disease modelling and clinical applications requires protocols that convert these cells into relevant adult cell types. Here, we report the rapid and efficient differentiation of human pluripotent stem

Linchuang shenzangbing zazhi, 2022 Vascular calcification （VC） is a major cause of cardiovascular mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease （CKD）. Current studies suggest that VC of CKD is not simply an ectopic deposition of calcium phosphate crystals in vascular wall.

Fibronectin matrix polymerization regulates smooth muscle cell phenotype through a Rac1 dependent mechanism. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Smooth muscle cells are maintained in a differentiated state in the vessel wall, but can be modulated to a synthetic phenotype following injury. Smooth muscle phenotypic modulation is thought to play an important role in the pathology of vascular ...

Medial Injury/Dysfunction Induced Granulation Tissue Repair is the Pathogenesis of Atherosclerosis [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Atherosclerosis, a chronic lesion of vascular wall, remains a leading cause of death and loss of life years. Classical hypotheses for atherosclerosis are long-standing mainly to explain atherogenesis. Unfortunately, these hypotheses may not explain the variation in the susceptibility to atherosclerosis.
