Engineered BiTE molecule draws T cells to eliminate FAP+ modulated smooth muscle cells, reducing plaque burden across mouse atherosclerosis models.

Scientists have designed an immunotherapy that reduces plaque in the arteries of mice, presenting a possible new treatment strategy against heart disease. The antibody-based therapy could complement ...

A recent study by University Medicine Halle shows how sepsis can lead to dysfunction of vascular smooth muscle cells. The researchers found that elevated lactate levels and acidosis, which can occur ...

SLC44A2 controls vascular smooth muscle cells and is key for controlling aortic aneurysm Aug. 28, 2024 ...

Engineers developed a method to grow artificial muscle tissue that twitches and flexes in multiple, coordinated directions. These tissues could be useful for building 'biohybrid' robots powered by ...
