Objective—Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) has high mortality rate when ruptured, but currently, there is no proven pharmacological therapy for AAA because of our poor understanding of its pathogenesis ...

The stomach is made of smooth muscle, which can tighten and hold contractions for an extended period of time, even after stretching. This allows it to make room for more and more food.

Objective To investigate the effects of telmisartan and pyridoxamine on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) proliferation and apoptosis with abdominal aorta vascular remodelling in spontaneously ...

Rationale Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a focal dilation of the abdominal aorta that progresses to rupture, which is frequently fatal. The only existing treatments are high risk surgical ...

Results Carbachol (10 –6 mol/L) promoted noticeable and long-duration contractions in muscle strips isolated from the upper half of the human stomach (Figures 1, 2). Typical tracings show the response ...

Additionally, the receptor-ligand analysis identified strong connections between myeloid populations and vascular smooth muscle cells in AAA tissues. The expression of SORT1 in vascular smooth muscle ...
