Evaluation of fundamental hypotheses underlying constrained mixture models of arterial growth and remodelling.

11 Sep 2009 Evolving constituent composition and organization are important determinants of the biomechanical behaviour of soft tissues. In arteries, vascular smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts continually produce and degrade matrix constituents in preferred ... Read more...

Acquisition of the contractile phenotype by murine arterial smooth muscle cells depends on the Mir143/145 gene cluster.

15 Aug 2009 VSMCs respond to changes in the local environment by adjusting their phenotype from contractile to synthetic, a phenomenon known as phenotypic modulation or switching. Failure of VSMCs to acquire and maintain the contractile phenotype plays a key ... Read more...

Analysis of placenta vascularization in patients with uterine altered artery Doppler flow velocity exams.

30 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: One of the frequent questions in obstetric practice is to determine placental vascular changes that may account for abnormal Doppler flow velocity alterations in maternal uterine vessels from women and fetuses without pregnancy ... Read more...
