Antiserotonergic properties of terguride in blood vessels, platelets, and valvular interstitial cells.
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) is involved in heart valve tissue fibrosis, pulmonary arterial fibrosis, and pulmonary hypertension. We aimed at characterizing the antiserotonergic properties of the ergot alkaloid derivative terguride [1,1-diethyl-3-(6-methyl-8α-ergolinyl)urea] by using functional receptor assays and valvular interstitial cell culture. Terguride showed no vasoconstrictor ...
متن کاملBlood vessels engineered from human cells.
Human vascular tissue engineering has progressed substantially over the past decade. Issues remain as to the optimum culture scaffold and cell source that should be used for arterial regeneration. In addition, limitations in replicative life span of adult human cells as compared with young animal cells have made human vascular tissue engineering more challenging. Despite these obstacles, severa...

Remarkable advances in our understanding of innate and adaptive immunity have shed light on why inflammation is centrally involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases traditionally not viewed as primarily inflammatory in nature. One key area of progress has been the discovery and study of innate immune receptors, referred to as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), such as toll-like receptors ...

This excellent monograph by Phillippe Sengel brings together an enormous body of data on the embryonic development of the skin in mammals, birds, and reptiles, and most of the information available on the many chemical factors and tissue interactions which produce these changes. The book is divided into four sections. The first describes the histogenesis of developing skin visible with the ligh...
متن کاملRegulation of blood vessels.
THE CARDIOVASCULAR system serves the biologic organism as a transportation and mixing system. The demalnd by the organism for this service varies in different tissues and at different times while the volume of blood in the organism tends to remain constant. The cardiovascular system fulfills its function, therefore, by varying the rate and the distribution of blood flow. Blood vessels play a ma...
