Spatially localized stress fields produced by instrumented, sharp indentation probes are a route to testing the mechanical properties of materials at the smallest length scales. Here we provide direct ...
School of Medicine scientist receives continued funding to support smooth muscle plasticity research
Kenton Sanders, Ph.D., chair of the physiology and cell biology department at the University of Nevada School of Medicine, has received Phase 3 funding in the amount of $5.4 million over the next five ...
The walls of blood vessels consist of smooth muscle cells, elastic fibres, and endothelial cells, which line the interior surface of the vessel. The vessels change their permeability and contractility ...
Atherosclerosis is driven not only by lipid accumulation but also by dynamic changes in the cells that form the vessel wall. This study reveals that smooth muscle cells, long considered structural ...
Atherosclerosis underlies most heart attacks and strokes and is now recognized as a chronic inflammatory disease rather than a simple disorder of cholesterol deposition. While immune cells such as ...
Researchers are investigating the signalling pathways via which the smooth muscle cells of blood vessels react to extracellular changes. Max Planck researchers are investigating the signalling ...
