MicroRNAs in Vascular Biology
Vascular inflammation is an important component of the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, and aneurysms. All vascular cells, including endothelial cells (ECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), and infiltrating cells, such as macrophages, orchestrate a series of pathological events. Despite dramatic improvements in the treatment of atherosc...
متن کاملMicroRNAs in vascular and metabolic disease.
Recent findings demonstrated the importance of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the vasculature and the orchestration of lipid metabolism and glucose homeostasis. MiRNA networks represent an additional layer of regulation for gene expression that absorbs perturbations and ensures the robustness of biological systems. This function is very elegantly demonstrated in cholesterol metabolism where miRNAs reduc...
متن کاملHypoxia in lung vascular biology and disease.
With the evolution of photosynthesis, organisms had to cope with a dramatic environmental change: the presence of oxygen. Despite the initial toxicity of this gas, the presence of molecular oxygen offered a more effective energy metabolism. As a result, animals and humans require oxygen to survive, and a shortage of oxygen, hypoxia, can evoke lifethreatening conditions. To maintain an optimal e...
متن کاملBiomechanics in vascular biology and cardiovascular disease.
Introduction Biodegradable stents have the potential to avoid long-term complications of conventional stents such as in-stent restenosis and late stent thrombosis, and could allow for a restoration of vasomotion and vessel growth which makes them suitable for e.g. paediatric applications [1]. To investigate the mechanics of this new type of stent via finite element simulations, we developed a n...
متن کاملBiology of vascular calcification in renal disease.
The high rates of atherosclerotic vascular disease in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) cannot be fully explained by the excess of traditional risk factors. Interest has therefore arisen in the possible role of vascular calcification, which is increased in these patients and may effect plaque stability and have detrimental hemodynamic consequences. Considerable evidence has accumulat...
