Vascular smooth muscle cell dysfunction in neurodegeneration
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are the key moderators of cerebrovascular dynamics in response to the brain’s oxygen and nutrient demands. Crucially, VSMCs may provide a sensitive biomarker for neurodegenerative pathologies where vasculature is compromised.

Angiotensin II stimulates NADH and NADPH oxidase activity in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells.
Circulation Research, 1994 The signaling pathways involved in the long-term metabolic effects of angiotensin II (Ang II) in vascular smooth muscle cells are incompletely understood but include the generation of molecules likely to affect oxidase activity.

Regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell differentiation [PDF]
Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2007 Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) differentiation is an essential component of vascular development. These cells perform biosynthetic, proliferative, and contractile roles in the vessel wall. VSMCs are not terminally differentiated and are able to modulate their phenotype in response to changing local environmental cues.

iPLA2β overexpression in smooth muscle exacerbates angiotensin II-induced hypertension and vascular remodeling. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Calcium independent group VIA phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2)β) is up-regulated in vascular smooth muscle cells in some diseases, but whether the up-regulated iPLA(2)β affects vascular morphology and blood pressure is unknown.

Smooth muscle cells largely develop independently of functional hemogenic endothelium
Stem Cell Research, 2014 Vascular smooth muscle cells represent a major component of the cardiovascular system. In vitro studies have shown that FLK1+ cells derived from embryonic stem (ES) cells can differentiate into both endothelial and smooth muscle cells.
