## Abstract We have previously identified a human vascular smooth muscle clone that can reversibly convert between proliferative and contractile phenotypes. Here we compared receptorβchannel coupling in these cells using furaβ2 to monitor [Ca^2+^]~i~ and patchβclamp to record currents. Histamine el
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) has been typically considered to be an endothelial-specific growth factor. However, it was recently demonstrated that VEGF can interact with non endothelial cells. In this study, we tested whether vascular smooth muscles cells (VSMCs) can express VEGF recept
## Abstract Endotoxemia by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been reported to affect gut motility specifically depending on Tollβlike receptor 4 activation (TLR4). However, the direct impact of LPS ligation to TLR4 on human smooth muscle cells (HSMC) activity still remains to be elucidated. Th
