To test the hypothesis that problems with EVH may relate to its learning curve and conduit quality, we analyzed the quality and early function of condu...

متن کاملBortezomib protects from varicose-like venous remodeling.
Despite the high prevalence of venous diseases that are associated with and based on the structural reorganization of the venous vessel wall, not much is known about their mechanistic causes. In this context, we demonstrated that the quantity of myocardin, a transcriptional regulator of the contractile and quiescent smooth muscle cell phenotype, was diminished in proliferating synthetic venous ...
