Each time, 16 eyes of 8 rabbits were enucleated to observe the adhesion in muscle and adjacent tissue grossly by blunt dissection. Then, histopathological sections were analyzed for inflammation and fibrosis by staining with hematoxylin-eosin and Masson trichrome, respectively. Inflammation and fibrosis...
Mesothelial stem cells can differentiate into mesothelial cells which can derive from differentiation of adult stem cells in adjacent muscle and contribute to healing29,30. Intraperitoneal delivery of autologous stem cells from muscle prevents abdominal adhesions29. Interestingly, intra-abdominal application ...
The vascular wall contains intimal endothelium and medial smooth muscle that act as contiguous tissues with tight spatial and functional coordination in response to tonic and episodic input from the bloodstream and the surrounding parenchyma. Focal adhesions are molecular bridges between the intracellular ...
Adhesions are thought to cause pain indirectly by restricting organ motion, thus stretching and pulling smooth muscle of adjacent viscera or the abdominal wall. However, in mapping studies using microlaparoscopic techniques, 80% of patients with pelvic adhesions reported tenderness when these structures ...

In healing, tissue remodeling is essential to form the new tissue. The process of tissue remodeling is triggered by the trauma, amplified and orchestrated during inflammation, and concluded when recruited cells have replaced the defect with newly formed
Src is a known regulator of focal adhesion turnover in migrating cells; but, in contrast, Src is generally assumed to play little role in differentiated, contractile vascular smooth muscle (dVSM). The goal of the present study was to determine if Src-family kinases regulate focal adhesion prote...
(e.g., bladder, bacterial, yeast, STD), a trauma (abuse, fall onto the tailbone or perineum), or a surgery (abortion, C-section, laparoscopy) – or due to inflammation from the endometriosis itself. These adhesions can be small enough that they form between muscle cells, causing pain ...
Comparison between the Immediate Effects of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization and Active Release Technique in Individuals Wearing High Heels Background: Wearing high heels regularly places muscle-tendon units (MTUs) in a shortened position. In this condition the length of the calf MTU (gast...
