When stimulated by the autonomic nervous system to contract from the release of hormones or other chemical signals, smooth muscle cells shorten via the movement of actin and myosin myofilaments.

This fundamental research conducted a molecular comparison between smooth muscle cells and adjacent fibroblast cells within lung blood vessels affected by pulmonary arterial hypertension. The study ...

G) Heatmap of fold change expression of soluble ligands secreted by IPAH PAAF compared to donor PAAF (n=4 for each condition). H) Gene expression changes of contractile markers smooth muscle myosin ...

Methods: Here we take an in silico approach to elucidate the issue. First, we modify a model, previously used in studies of skeletal muscle, with molecular parameter values for human ventricular ...
