Development of a flexible image-based approach for studying signal transduction in isolated arterioles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Myogenic constriction in arterioles occurs when membrane tension leads to smooth muscle depolarization and voltage-gated calcium channel activation. A barrier to understanding the exact signaling events is the limited ... -
Regional heterogeneity of adventitial elastin in the arteriolar wall reflects differences in the mechanical environment
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Adventitial elastin provides structural and mechanical support for arterioles. While elastin quantities are known in arterioles, the structure of elastin fibers and distribution of elastin throughout the vessel was unknown. ... -
Vascular smooth muscle calcium waves in isolated arterioles : interactions between intraluminal pressure and intracellular calcium handling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Arterioles, an important control element in the circulatory system regulate blood flow in part though a phenomenon known as the 'Myogenic Response'. ...
