The contraction of smooth muscle is an essential process underpinning diverse physiological functions ranging from gastrointestinal motility to vascular regulation. At its core, smooth muscle ...
In the avian embryo, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) in the aortic arch (elastic) arteries originate in the neural crest, whereas other VSMC develop from local mesoderm. These two lineages have ...
β-Catenin phosphorylation plays important roles in modulating its functions, but the effects of different phosphorylated forms of β-catenin in response to heterocellular interaction are unclear. Here ...
A team of investigators from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), a founding member of Mass General Brigham (MGB) and Mass General for Children (MGfC) has identified - for the first time - the ...
Actomyosin is a protein complex composed of actin and myosin. It is found in muscle fibers where it plays a role in muscle contraction. Actin is one of the most abundant proteins in eukaryotes. It ...
Obesity changes how airway muscles function, increasing the risk of developing asthma, a new study suggests. New research suggests that obesity changes how airway muscles function, increasing the risk ...
As food is digested and nutrients are absorbed, there is a lot of movement in the gut. Scientists have now shown that a protein called Piezo1 that acts as a pressure sensor in the body also works to ...
Investigators have used base editing to create a treatment for multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome, which has ...
ASMAs were first discovered in 1965 in people with chronic active hepatitis. Usually, your immune system will attack foreign bodies like a parasite or a virus with the antibodies made for defending ...
