The presence of immature smooth muscle cells and ectopic tissues such as fully-formed bone in atherosclerotic lesions, may result from recapitulation of embryonic mechanisms in the artery wall. We hypothesized that expression of homeobox genes is triggered in atherogenesis and that these regulate pr
Epithelial-mesenchymal interactions and extracellular matrix remodeling are key processes of embryonic lung development. Lung smooth muscle cells, which are derived from the mesenchyme, form a sheath around bronchi and blood vessels. During lung organogenesis, smooth muscle differentiation coincides
Malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT) is a rare and extremely aggressive malignant tumor in childhood. In this study, an MRT cell line, designated KP-MRT-NS, was established from the ascitic fluid taken from an 11-month-old girl, whose tumor had originated from the left kidney. Ultrastructural findings dem
Vessels remodel to compensate for increases in blood flow/pressure. The chronic exposure of blood vessels to increased flow and circulatory redox-homocysteine may injure vascular endothelium and disrupt elastic laminae. In order to understand the role of extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation in vas
