Cell-cell communication between endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) plays a critical role not only in vascular homeostasis but also in disease. We have previously demonstrated that PKCd (protein kinase C-delta) regulates multiple components of vascular injury response including apoptosis ...
The muscles of your heart, organs and other internal structures are involuntary muscles because they are hard at work regardless of what you are doing; they even work while you sleep. There are two types of involuntary muscles inside of you: cardiac muscle and smooth muscle. In this lesson...

Muscular System is a set of an organ system which are mainly responsible for movement of the human body. It primarily consists of skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscles.

Mast cells (MCs) are cells of hematopoietic origin that normally reside in mucosal tissues, often near epithelial cells, glands, smooth muscle cells, and nerves. Best known for their contributions to pathology during IgE-associated disorders such as food allergy, asthma, and anaphylaxis, MCs are ...
Types Striated muscle (skeletal, visceral striated, cardiac)Non striated (smooth) muscle Skeletal muscle Striated muscle; formed of long, multinucleate, unbranched myocytes Attached at one or either ends to a bony attachment point Cardiac muscle Striated muscle; formed of short, uninucleate, branchin...
Visceral, or smooth, muscle is found inside organs such as the stomach and intestines, as well as in blood vessels. It is called a smooth muscle because, unlike skeletal muscle, it does not have the banded appearance of skeletal or cardiac muscle. The weakest of all muscle tissues, visceral...
smooth muscle cells during oxidative stress-induced vascular remodeling and is responsible for deSUMOylation of β-catenin (Wnt/β-catenin is involved in vascular remodeling [81]) to protect β-catenin from proteasomal degradation, suggesting a role of SUMO regulation in hypertension and ...
Due to their high concentration of prostaglandins, they can modify the contraction of smooth muscle. As shown by the animal model, they have an antibacterial role in the male genital tract. This explains the relatively low frequency of purely vesicular infections in human pathology. Zusammenfassung....
