In pulmonary hypertension, a combination of metabolic and mechanical dysfunction leads to irreversible vascular damage.

Transition from healthy to diseased state is a cell-type-specific process, influenced by neighboring cells and resulting in functionally meaningful differences between pulmonary artery adventitial ...

In atherosclerosis, the vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) contributes to vessel wall inflammation and lipoprotein retention, as well as to the formation of the fibrous cap that provides stability ...

A new treatment possibility has been confirmed for ischemic cardiovascular disease, which does not have a suitable treatment if surgery, intervention, or surgery is not possible. Professor Yoon ...

To achieve these end points, a common cellular source for regenerating cardiomyocytes, vascular structures, and supporting cells such as pericytes and smooth muscle cells would be ideal.

In a recent study published in NPJ Microgravity, scientists explore the impact of spaceflight on human vascular smooth muscle cells at the transcriptomic level. Study: Spaceflight effects on human ...

They never get tired. Smooth muscle cells make up thin sheets of muscle, such as the stomach lining. They can also be arranged in bundles, or rings, like that in the anus. Skeletal muscle is ...

Growing muscles in a lab usually means a liquid medium to supply nutrients and oxygen to muscle cells seeded on petri ... this problem is solved by the vascular network. But building artificial ...
