smooth muscle cells

[Nature Communications] The authors showed that extracellular vesicles derived from aged bone matrix during bone resorption favored bone marrow MSC adipogenesis rather than osteogenesis and augmented calcification of vascular smooth muscle cells.

[Molecular Medicine] THe authors hypothesized that vascular smooth muscle cell undergoes dysregulation in advanced type 2 diabetes mellitus which was associated with vascular hyperacetylation.

[Hypertension] Researchers investigated pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cell aerobic glycolysis after being treated with platelet supernatant. TGF-βRI, PKM2, and other antagonists were applied to identify the underlying mechanism

[Journal of Cardiovascular Translational Research] The interaction between ATG and LC3 was analyzed, followed by validation of the role of autophagy in CLU's regulation on the proliferation and migration of VSMCs.

[Cell Cycle] The role of miR-509-5p in hypoxia-induced pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) and the underlying mechanism were explored. PASMCs were cultured under both normoxia and hypoxia conditions.

[inflammopharmacology] Researchers investigated the effect of curcumin on vascular smooth muscle cells inflammation induced by lipopolysaccharide and its mechanism.
