Angiopoietin-2: A breakthrough protein could rescue lives in patients with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS).

Activation of PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor) signaling promotes the hyperproliferation of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs), thus contributing to the pulmonary vascular remodeling ...

Our results indicate that NHE1 regulates apoptosis susceptibility in PASMCs during PH via modulation of CHOP rather than through pH i regulation.

Researchers suggest research findings might be applicable to other age-related diseases where endothelial dysfunction plays a ...

Exosomes released by mesenchymal stem cells may help reduce vascular remodeling and ease PH symptoms, a rat study showed.

These cells include smooth muscle cells, which line our arteries. Normally, smooth muscle cells help control blood pressure by contracting and relaxing. But when blood pressure levels decrease ...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a neuromuscular disease causing progressive skeletal muscle weakness and fatigue. The research team led by Associate Professor Hidetoshi Sakurai (Department of ...

Ovulation – it’s the point at which an egg cell is mature enough that it’s ready to leave its cozy home inside a fluid-filled ...

Normally, 'smooth muscle cells' which line the inside of blood vessels are known to help control blood pressure by contracting and relaxing. However, when blood pressure falls and stays low for a ...

Approximately 400 times in a woman's life, a mature egg makes the "leap." It is released into the fallopian tube, ready for ...
