Rationale: Regeneration of denuded or injured endothelium is an important component of vascular injury response. 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 ...
Smooth muscle fiberis found lining hollow organs throughout the body and generally contracts and relaxes involuntarily — unlike skeletal muscle. Its specific functions vary depending on its location in the body. Smooth muscle cells have aspindle-shaped appearanceunder a microscope, unlike skeletal musc...

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 ...
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 ...

The brain performs exceptionally complex and dynamic tasks that depend on the coordinated interaction of neurons, glial cells, endothelial cells, pericytes, smooth muscle cells, ependymal cells, and circulating blood cells. Among these cells, glial cells have emerged as crucial protagonists in the regu...
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...
Specialized muscle of the heart → myocardium Smooth muscle Non striated muscle; formed of short, uninucleate, spindle shaped myocytesLocated in the walls of internal organs, blood vessels etc. Connective tissues Endomysium: loose connective tissue surrounding muscle cells/fibersPerimysium: Fibrous ...
To determine the roles of the ERK1 and ERK2 isoforms, we created stable knockdown clones in SUM149 and pools in BT549 TNBC cells using shRNA lentiviral vectors. The knockdown of each ERK isoform was confirmed via western blot (Fig. 2A). No phenotypic changes were observed in either of th...
