  1. 21. Mechanosensitive transcriptional regulation of gene expression in smooth muscle. Implications for health and disease

    Författare :Fatima Daoud; Molekylär kärlfysiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; smooth muscle cell; phenotypic modulation; Yap Taz; MRTFA; hypertension; atherosclerosis;

    Sammanfattning : Smooth muscle participates in forming the wall of hollow organs, tracts, and blood vessels. Therefore, it plays a critical role in mediating vital functions in the body including regulation of blood pressure. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Calcium channel activity and force regulation in smooth muscle: Effects of polyamines and growth stimulation

    Författare :Maria Gomez; Kardiovaskulär forskning - immunitet och ateroskleros; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; verapamil; tissue culture; portal vein; patch-clamp; calcium; spermidine; spermine; polyamines; excitation-contraction; smooth muscle; calcium channel; ionomycin.; Physiology; Fysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : The initial signal for contraction in smooth muscle is an increase in [Ca2+]i. Ca2+ ions can either enter the cytosol from the extracellular medium or be released from intracellular stores. Voltage-operated Ca2+ channels (VOC) play a dominant role in the activation of smooth muscle contraction. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Inhibition of smooth muscle cell proliferation after balloon injury

    Författare :Bojan Cercek; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Smooth muscle cell proliferation is an important part of the arterial response to injury Insulin like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is involved in regulation of cell proliferation and hypopituitarism is associated with decreased vessel wall response to injury. We investigated the role of vascular IGF-I in vessel wall response to injury. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Effects of the host defense peptide LL-37 on human cells : Immunomodulation and cytotoxicity

    Författare :Sara Bodahl; Kärlfysiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; LL-37; Host defense peptides; Cathelicidin; Inflammation; Cytotoxicity; TLR3; Poly I:C;

    Sammanfattning : The human host defense peptide LL-37 has an essential role in the first line of defense against invading pathogens. This cathelicidin is mainly produced by immune cells and epithelial cells aligning the mucosal areas and is normally upregulated upon infection and inflammation. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Role of Caveolae and miRNAs in Regulation of Urinary Bladder Function

    Författare :Mardjaneh Karbalaei; Cellulär biomekanik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The urinary bladder is responsible for storage and expulsion of urine. Proper urination depends on an ability of the bladder to adjust to increasing volume and to contract during micturition. A disturbance of bladder contractility may affect continence. LÄS MER
