Use of poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) cryogelation for tissue engineering: composites, scaffold formation and cell encapsulation [PDF]

, 2009
PVA cryogelation is a physical hydrogel formation method, which yields cryogels with comparable mechanical properties to vascular tissue. However PVA cryogels are not suitable for cell attachment and proliferation alone.

Cellular and molecular components of the atherosclerotic process: Primary colture and characterization of human vascular smooth muscle cells from carotid artery

, 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 ...

Regulation of the cell magnesium in vascular smooth muscle

The Journal of Physiology, 1974
1. The relation between [Mg]o and the Mg content of the rat tail artery incubated in Ca‐free solutions was studied.2. Variation of [Mg]o in Ca‐free Krebs solution between 0·6 and 2·4 m m did not affect the cell Mg. In ATP‐depleted arteries, a sizeable fraction of the cell Mg was found to be proportional to [Mg]o.3.

Signaling of angiotensin II-induced vascular protein synthesis in conduit and resistance arteries in vivo [PDF]

, 2004
<b>Background</b> From in vitro studies, it has become clear that several signaling cascades are involved in angiotensin II-induced cellular hypertrophy.

Ablation of smooth muscle myosin heavy chain SM2 increases smooth muscle contractility and results in postnatal death in mice

, 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 ...

Diverse effects of calcineurin in vascular smooth muscle cells: physiological activators and the controversial actions of clinical inhibitors

Frontiers in Pharmacology
Calcineurin is a serine/threonine phosphatase that classically regulates T cell activation and modulates immune response by targeting transcription factors of the NFaT family.

Role of Ryanodine Type 2 Receptors in Elementary Ca2+ Signaling in Arteries and Vascular Adaptive Responses

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background Hypertension is the major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, the most common cause of death worldwide. Resistance arteries are capable of adapting their diameter independently in response to pressure and flow‐associated shear stress ...

The investigation of corpus cavernosum smooth muscle dysfunction in low-flow priapism.

, 2007
Prolonged low-flow (ischaemic) priapism results in a progressive alteration of the microenvironment within the corpus cavemosum with the development of hypoxia, acidosis and glucopenia and a reduction in the responsiveness to a-adrenergic receptor ...

Guidance Molecules in Vascular Smooth Muscle

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Several highly conserved families of guidance molecules, including ephrins, Semaphorins, Netrins, and Slits, play conserved and distinct roles in tissue remodeling during tissue patterning and disease pathogenesis.
