The study of the mechanisms of regulation of vascular tone is an urgent task of modern
science, since diseases of the cardiovascular system remain the main cause of reduction in …

Appropriate contraction and relaxation of arteries plays a key role in regulating blood flow.
Changes in artery diameter, and hence resistance to blood flow, is achieved by the degree …

The measurement of vascular function in isolated vessels has revealed important insights
into the structural, functional, and biomechanical features of the normal and diseased …

Blood vessels play an important role in the regulation of blood pressure and blood flow
distribution. In order to understand the mechanisms of these regulatory processes in health …

Atherosclerosis is characterized by endothelial dysfunction and alterations in vascular
reactivity, which can be investigated by wire myography. The method allows ex vivo …

This Research Topic is a part of the Methods and Applications in Physiology series and
builds on the successful publication of the “Methods and Applications in Vascular …

The arterial vasculature advances towards the capillary system through progressive
branchings where predominantly elastic conduits gradually become vessels whose …

Wire myograph is a device for the in vitro investigation of both, active and passive properties
of arteries. Arteries from a variety of animal species, pathological states, and vascular beds …

Introduction: The issue on the mode of blood motion in the bloodstream, where the arterial
and venous flow is significantly different, has been of greater concern recently. However, the …

Endothelial dysfunction precedes the development of morphological atherosclerotic
changes and can also contribute to lesion development in cardiovascular diseases …
