Switch of immunosuppression from cyclosporine A to everolimus: impact on pulse wave velocity in stable de-novo renal allograft recipients.

30 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular mortality is extraordinarily high in renal allograft recipients and accounts for almost half of all allograft losses. Whereas the immunosuppression with calcineurin inhibitors is associated with an increased ... Read more...

Brothers and sisters: molecular insights into arterial-venous heterogeneity.

22 Oct 2008 The molecular differences between arteries and veins are genetically predetermined and are evident even before the first embryonic heart beat. Although ephrinB2 and EphB4 are expressed in cells that will ultimately differentiate into arteries and ... Read more...

Heterogeneity and weak coupling may explain the synchronization characteristics of cells in the arterial wall.

11 Oct 2008 Vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) exhibit different types of calcium dynamics. Static vascular tone is associated with unsynchronized calcium waves and the developed force depends on the number of recruited cells. Global calcium transients ... Read more...
