Extracellular matrix control of smooth muscle cell activity
In atherogenesis, ill-coordinated smooth muscle cells (SMC) modulate from a contractile to a synthetic phenotype, where they excessively synthesize extracellular matrix proteins, in particular collagens. Howev...

Atherectomy with a Simpson-Catheter of the femoro-popliteal vessels: cell biological investigation of the plaque material obtained
Atherectomy with a Simpson catheter is a method for removing occluding material form eccentric or partially calcified plaques in stenosis and restenosis lesions of femoral and popliteal arteries. The specimens...

Chapter
Mutual influence on collagen synthesis and proliferation by TGF-β1 and PDGF-A/B in arterial smooth muscle cells
Atherogenesis is characterized by an increased proliferation of arterial smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and extensive deposition of extracellular matrix proteins, especially collagens. These pathological events ma...

Expression von mRNA für Kollagene in glatten Muskelzellen aus der Aorta unter verschiedenen Kulturbedingungen
Glatte Muskelzellen sind durch die Synthese und Sekretion von extrazellulärer Matrix wesentlich an der Entstehung von arteriosklerotischen Plaques beteiligt. Wir haben den Einfluß von extrazellulärem Kollagen ...

Chapter
Modified lipoproteins influence the biosynthetic activity of vascular smooth muscle cells
Ultrastructural investigations have shown that in the atherosclerotic plaque, smooth muscle cells (SMC) like macrophages can transform to lipid-enriched foam cells. To date, it is not clear by which mechanisms...

Regulation of protein synthesis in smooth muscle cells from spontaneously hypertensive rats during collagen lattice culture
The effect of a three-dimensional matrix of type I collagen on ultrastructure, total protein and collagen synthesis and cell cycle distribution of smooth muscle cells (SMC) from spontaneously hypertensive rats...

Chapter
The role of growth factors in the regulation of collagen synthesis and collagenase activity in cultured smooth muscle cells
The proliferation of smooth muscle cells (SMC) and the production of excessive amounts of extracellular matrix proteins are key events in the formation of intimal thickening during the course of atherogenesis....

Glycoproteins in rabbit uterus during implantation
The synthesis of glycoproteins in rabbit uterine epithelium during the late preimplantation period was studied using tritiated N-acetylglucosamine. In vivo labelling was achieved by the intra-uterine implantation...

Progesterone dependent uptake of uteroglobin by rabbit endometrium
Unlabeled or3H-labeled UGL, isolated from rabbit lungs, was injected intraluminally into the uteri of ovariectomized low dose progesterone substituted and unsubstituted animals as well as into mated animals on th...
