Vascular smooth muscle cells arise from multiple origins; this becomes medically significant because they may contribute to the site-specific localization of vascular diseases. For example, atherosclerosis and aortic aneurysms often present at specific vascular locations. In the past, this appeared to be...

Airway smooth muscle is the major contractile tissue of the airways in the lung. Its localization and arrangement within the airway wall appears optimized to effect changes in airway caliber through active force generation and cell shortening. However, like smooth muscle present in other hollow organs...
SM2: asmooth muscle myosinheavy chain (MHC)isoform; an excellent marker for differentiated phenotype of smooth muscle cells; • SM1: aMHCisoform; an excellent marker of mature smooth muscle cells; • SMemb: a nonmuscle myosin that is expressed in embryonic smooth muscle cells or activated me...
Is M1 receptor present in smooth muscle? They are distributed in the lung over submucosal glands, airway ganglia and over the nerves; M1-receptorsare found in airway ganglia, M2-receptors (autoreceptors) are present in cholinergic postganglionic nerves at the prejunctional level, whereas the musc...
In aortic smooth muscle from fetal, neonatal and adult rabbits , mRNA for SM! is present in abundance (5). In contrast, SM2 mRNA is undetectable in fetal rabbit aorta and barely detectable in the neonate; however, beyond the neonatal period its expression increases as the rabbit matures (5...
Extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (emmprin) is present in smooth muscle cells of human aneurysmal aorta and is induced by angiotensin ii in vitro... Xiao-feng,Chen,Jian-an,... - 《Clinical Science》 被引量: 35发表: 2009年 Extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN) is ...
We recently demonstrated that this smooth muscle provides a previously unrecognized mechanism to change cardiac output in the emydid red銆哸red slider (Trachemys scripta) that possibly contributes to their tremendous diving capacity. The purpose of the present immunohistochemical study was firstly to ...
Muscle cells are called the myocytes. They have myofibrils which are composed of actin and myosin myofilaments. They slide past each other, which produces tension, thus changing the shape of the myocyte. In single muscle tissue, there are many myocytes present. When the muscle fibers contract ...
Hence, the present discussion will focus mainly on the pharmacologic characterization of endothelium-derived factors. These factors impact not only on the thrombogenicity of the blood, the activation of blood elements, and the tone of the underlying smooth muscle, but also on the production of ...
