Quantifying Smooth Muscles Regional Organization in the Rat Bladder Using Immunohistochemistry, Multiphoton Microscopy and Machine Learning [PDF]

arXiv
The smooth muscle bundles (SMBs) in the bladder act as contractile elements which enable the bladder to void effectively. In contrast to skeletal muscles, these bundles are not highly aligned, rather they are oriented more heterogeneously throughout the bladder wall.

Extract of Aquilaria crassna leaves and mangiferin are vasodilators while showing no cytotoxicity

Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine, 2019
The leaves of Aquilaria spp. promote “physiological balance”, and are “cardiotonic and provide blood nourishment”. In Asia, these leaves are increasingly consumed as tea and claimed to provide benefits to cardiovascular function, albeit without any ...

A mathematical model for smooth muscle cell phenotype switching in atherosclerotic plaque [PDF]

arXiv
Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) play a fundamental role in the development of atherosclerotic plaques. SMCs may ingest lipids in a similar way to monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) in the plaque. This can stimulate SMCs to undergo a phenotypic switch towards a macrophage-like phenotype.

Inhibition of RACK1‐Mediated NLRP3 Oligomerization (Active Conformation) Ameliorates Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Schematic diagram showing the potential mechanism of bigelovin on the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome Bigelovin may inhibit activated protein C kinase 1 (RACK1) by directly binding with cys168 of RACK1. Bigelovin thus prevents oligomerization of NLRP3 (NLRP3 active conformation) and subsequent assembly of NLRP3 inflammasome, blocking the activation of
