Advanced Materials, EarlyView.By growing a conformal ZIF‐8 protective layer directly on antibody‐functionalized microneedles, this work converts a fragile biosensing interface into a thermostable diagnostic platform. The MOF@MN patch enables minimally invasive NGAL detection from dermal ISF while supporting cold‐chain‐independent storage and transport for decentralized kidney ...

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 ...

Expression of mRNA for phospholipase A(2), cyclooxygenases, and lipoxygenases in cultured human umbilical vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells and in biopsies from umbilical arteries and veins [PDF]
, 1998 Arachidonic acid (AA) is released by phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) and then converted into vasoactive and inflammatory eicosanoids by cyclooxygenases (COX) and lipoxygenases (LOX).

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A dyed nylon fiber is implemented inside the scattering phantom and skin tissue. The deep‐tissue light generation via whispering gallery mode lasing is demonstrated, achieving a depth of >50 times transport mean free path in scattering phantom and 3 mm beneath skin.

Cellular and molecular components of the atherosclerotic process: Primary colture and characterization of human vascular smooth muscle cells from carotid artery [PDF]
, 2009 Introduction The last years were characterized by several studies proceeding to understand SMC heterogeneity. Animal models of rat or rabbit IT after endothelial lesion are presently the most studied models for atherosclerotic plaque formation and ...

Effects of 17β-oestradiol on rat detrusor smooth muscle contractility [PDF]
, 2009 The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 17β-oestradiol (E2) on detrusor smooth muscle contractility and its possible neuroprotective role against ischaemic-like condition, which could arise during overactive bladder disease.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A constraint‐based analytical framework maps the coupled effects of material properties, structural parameters, and operating conditions in tubular dielectric elastomer pumps for extracorporeal circulatory applications. The approach defines performance boundaries through mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic constraints and identifies feasible design ...

Increased neointimal thickening in dystrophin-deficient mdx mice.
PLoS ONE, 2012 BackgroundThe dystrophin gene, which is mutated in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), encodes a large cytoskeletal protein present in muscle fibers. While dystrophin in skeletal muscle has been extensively studied, the function of dystrophin in vascular ...

Calcium Channels in Vascular Smooth Muscle [PDF]
, 2017 Calcium (Ca2+) plays a central role in excitation, contraction, transcription, and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMs). Precise regulation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) is crucial for proper physiological VSM function.
