Hydrogen sulfide can effectively reverse established hypoxia-induced PH and remodeling of pulmonary vascular structure in a rat model.

The same model also allows exploration of CICR in neurons, smooth muscle, and immune cells, expanding its clinical impact. With this insight, drug design can now focus on precision control of Ca²⁺ ...

In the fetal rat, nitrofen induces congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and pulmonary vascular remodeling similar to what is observed in the human condition. Airway hyperactivity is common in infants ...

The heart pumps blood through the vascular system, supplying cells with oxygen and energy Smooth muscle cells in the vessels finely regulate the blood flow. If they cannot perform their task, ...

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 ...

The muscular system works to control the movement of our body and internal organs. Muscle tissue contains something called muscle fibers. Muscle fibers consist of a single muscle cell. They help to ...
