Researchers set out to examine the effects of sodium nitroprusside on the thromboxane-mediated contraction and nitric oxide (NO)-independent relaxation pathways and on reactive oxygen species ...
A potential new pathway for treating erectile dysfunction that focuses on decreasing contraction of smooth muscles – rather than enhancing their relaxation which is how drugs like Viagra work – has ...
Angiotensin II (Ang II) stimulates migration of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) in addition to its contribution to contraction and hypertrophy. It is well established that Rho GTPases regulate ...

Compound found in rice bran can suppress intestinal contractions by inhibiting calcium influx
A research team at Toho University has revealed that ferulic acid (FA), a polyphenol abundant in rice bran, suppresses intestinal smooth muscle contractions by inhibiting voltage-dependent calcium ...
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is the most common form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy, affecting about 1 in 8,000 people. While it is well known for causing muscle weakness and stiffness, DM1 also ...
In a recent study published in NPJ Microgravity, scientists explore the impact of spaceflight on human vascular smooth muscle cells at the transcriptomic level. Study: Spaceflight effects on human ...
