Together, these findings suggest that ferulic acid can act as a natural regulator of intestinal motility. By reducing excessive smooth muscle activity, the compound could potentially help calm ...
The contractile responses of esophageal smooth muscle (SM) induced by platelet-activating factor (PAF) involve the activation of L-type voltage-dependent calcium channels (L-type VDCCs), ...
Genetic information is stored in DNA and is passed on in a very stable manner from one cell to the next or from one generation to the next. On a cellular level, genetic information is transcribed from ...
A research group led by Dr. Keisuke Obara, Dr. Kento Yoshioka, and Professor Yoshio Tanaka from the Department of Chemical Pharmacology, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Toho University, has ...
image: A schematic showing how high carbon dioxide levels promote contraction of airway smooth muscle cells by increasing the cellular concentration of calcium ions (Ca2+). This material relates to a ...
Microvascular pericytes are believed to be involved in various functions such as regulation of capillary blood flow and endothelial proliferation. Since pericytes represent a morphologically ...
You have 3 different types of muscle: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Skeletal muscle alone accounts for over 650 different muscles. Have you ever wondered how many muscles you have in your body? The ...
