Vascular proliferation contributes to the pathobiology ... In summary, the function of the intimal smooth muscle cell in the natural history of the atherosclerotic lesion seems to be to act ...
However, traditional metal stents may cause restenosis—a re-narrowing of the artery—due to excessive smooth muscle cell proliferation one month after implantation. Drug-eluting stents are ...
Methods Mitochondrial transfer was quantified between human primary airway smooth muscel cells (ASMCs) from healthy and COPD ... respectively, and proliferation using the BrdU Assay Kit. Results ...
These improvements were due to a surprising finding -- proliferation of endogenous heart muscle cells in the pig hearts. This is particularly noteworthy because shortly after birth mammalian heart ...
Adhesive interactions, however, are also involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease, regulating thrombus formation, facilitating leucocyte infiltration, mediating the migration and ...
Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) of the proximal thoracic aorta are derived from second heart field (SHF) and cardiac neural crest lineages. Recent studies, both in vitro and in vivo, have implied relevance ...
The ECM (extracellular matrix) provides the microenvironmental niche sensed by resident vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Aging and disease are associated with dramatic changes in ECM composition ...
Background Myofibroblasts are activated fibroblasts mainly characterized by the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA ... Objectives To investigate the involvement of ET-1 in cell proliferation ...
