Smooth muscle cells that envelop the arteries and arterioles in different parts of the vascular tree are derived from different embryogenic sources; this may help to explain differences in smooth ...

The major arteries branch into smaller arteries, called arterioles. These connect to capillaries, where the direct exchange ...

Arteries and arterioles were labeled with AlexaFluor633 hydrazide (magenta), which labels elastin molecules in the vascular smooth muscle cells. A glass micropipette (visualized with rhodamine) is ...

Prolonged use of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors, common in hypertension treatment, can harm kidneys, leading to scarring, vascular changes and impaired filtration. Researchers found ...
