Ion Channels and Their Regulation in Vascular Smooth Muscle [PDF]
Vascular smooth muscle excitability is exquisitely regulated by different ion channels that control membrane potential (Em) and the magnitude of intracellular calcium inside the cell to induce muscle relaxation or contraction, which significantly ...

Engineered 3D‐Cad/IL6‐MSC, developed through synergistic hE/N‐cad‐Fc and IL‐6 preconditioning, show remarkable therapeutic potential for systemic sclerosis. These engineered MSC aggregates reduce pathogenic inflammatory cell infiltration and restore immune balance among CD4+ T‐cell populations, offering a promising approach to optimize MSC based ...

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.

Smooth Muscle Progenitor Cells: Friend or Foe in Vascular Disease? [PDF]
The origin of vascular smooth muscle cells that accumulate in the neointima in vascular diseases such as transplant arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis and restenosis remains subject to much debate.

Bone fracture healing is a complex, timely orchestrated scenario involving multiple cell types and a plethora of cytokines and regulatory factors. To gain further insight, an in vitro model to a) study macrophage polarization under mechanical load in a fibrin hydrogel and b) subsequently assess the effect of conditioned media derived from macrophages ...

Vascular smooth muscle cell apoptosis in atherosclerosis [PDF]
Cell death has long been recognized within the vessel wall, in particular, in disease states such as atherosclerosis. The use of the term ‘necrotic core’ for the central lipid core of advanced lesions emphasizes this. Indeed there is obvious cell fragmentation and cell debris in areas of plaques, particularly the lipid core (Mitchinson et al.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are pivotal mediators of intercellular communication and disease, yet the fundamental mechanisms controlling their biogenesis and cargo selection remain unclear. This limitation hinders their diagnostic utility and therapeutic development.
