Retinal micro-vascular and aortic macro-vascular changes in postmenopausal women with primary hyperparathyroidism [PDF]

, 2018
Aim of the study was to evaluate the micro and macro-vascular changes in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) compared to controls. 30 postmenopausal PHPT women (15 hypertensive and 15 normotensive) and 30 normotensive controls underwent ...

Effects of Exercise on Arterial Stiffness: Mechanistic Insights into Peripheral, Central, and Systemic Vascular Health in Young Men

Metabolites
Background/Objectives: Arterial stiffness, a critical predictor of cardiovascular events, varies regionally across peripheral, central, and systemic arteries, necessitating targeted exercise interventions for young men.

Reducing arterial stiffness and wave reflection – Quest for the Holy Grail?

Artery Research, 2019
Arterial stiffness and wave reflection are fast emerging as therapeutic targets in their own right. While thiazide diuretics have little or no effect on either arterial stiffness or wave reflection, vasodilators including nitrates and phosphodiesterase ...

Endothelial Estrogen Receptor-α Does Not Protect Against Vascular Stiffness Induced by Western Diet in Female Mice.

Endocrinology, 2016
Consumption of a diet high in fat and refined carbohydrates (Western diet [WD]) is associated with obesity and insulin resistance, both major risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD).

miR-181b regulates vascular stiffness age dependently in part by regulating TGF-β signaling

PLoS ONE, 2017
Background Endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffening play major roles in cardiovascular diseases. The critical role for the miR-181 family in vascular inflammation has been documented.

Can arterial wave augmentation in young adults help account for variability of cardiovascular risk in different British ethnic groups? [PDF]

, 2016
Objective: Traditional cardiovascular risk factors do not fully account for ethnic differences in cardiovascular disease. We tested if arterial function indices, particularly augmentation index (AIx), and their determinants from childhood could underlie ...

The architecture of co-culture spheroids regulates tumor invasion within a 3D extracellular matrix [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Tumor invasion, the process by which tumor cells break away from their primary tumor and gain access to vascular systems, is an important step in cancer metastasis. Most current 3D tumor invasion assays consisted of single tumor cells embedded within an extracellular matrix (ECM). These assays taught us much of what we know today on how key biophysical

Vascular journey and adhesion mechanics of micro-sized carriers in narrow capillaries [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
In this work a Lattice Boltzmann Immersed Boundary method is used for predicting the dynamics of rigid and deformable adhesive micro carriers (1 um) navigating a capillary by the size of 10 um with 20% hematocrit. Red cells and particles are modeled as a collection of mass spring elements responding to a bending potential, an elastic potential and ...

Vascular Adaptations to Spaceflight: Results from the Vascular Series Experiments

Revista Cubana de Investigaciones Biomédicas, 2019
Long-duration spaceflight on the International Space Station (ISS) could be detrimental to astronaut health because of the prolonged period of physical unloading and other stressful factors including isolation and radiation in the microgravity ...
