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.

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 ...

Purinergic Signaling During Hyperglycemia in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020 The activation of purinergic receptors by nucleotides and/or nucleosides plays an important role in the control of vascular function, including modulation of vascular smooth muscle excitability, and vascular reactivity.

Statins inhibited erythropoietin-induced proliferation of rat vascular smooth muscle cells [PDF]
, 2010 Erythropoietin (EPO) directly stimulates the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells, and this is believed to be one of the mechanisms of vascular access failure of hemodialysis patients. However, precise mechanisms of the EPO-induced proliferation

Acute oxygen sensing by vascular smooth muscle cells
Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 An adequate supply of oxygen (O2) is essential for most life forms on earth, making the delivery of appropriate levels of O2 to tissues a fundamental physiological challenge.
