Next is a granulation or cellular proliferation phase. Growth factors are subsequently
released from platelets, leukocytes, and SMCs, which stimulate migration of SMCs from the …

In-stent restenosis (ISR) is a novel pathobiologic process, histologically distinct from
restenosis after balloon angioplasty and comprised largely of neointima formation. As …

Objectives. We examined the relative contributions of inflammation and arterial injury to
neointimal formation in a porcine coronary overstretch restenosis model. Background …

The Handbook of Membrane Separations: Chemical, Pharmaceutical, and Biotechnological
Applications provides detailed information on membrane separation technologies as they …

Excessive accumulation of smooth-muscle cells (SMCs) has a key role in the pathogenesis
of vascular diseases. It has been assumed that SMCs derived from the outer medial layer …

OBJECTIVES The aim of our study was to analyze the cellular components of neointimal
tissue regeneration after coronary stenting. BACKGROUND High restenosis rates are a …

Genetically modified mice serve as a powerful tool to determine the role of specific
molecules in a wide variety of biological phenomena including vascular remodeling. Several …

Apoptotic death of vascular cells is a prominent feature of blood vessel remodeling that
occurs during normal development and fibroproliferative disorders of the vessel wall. This …

Ischemic peripheral neuropathy is a frequent, irreversible complication of lower extremity
vascular insufficiency. We investigated whether ischemic peripheral neuropathy could be …

Background: The effect of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in the treatment of
hemodialysis vascular access stenosis is attenuated by a high restenosis rate, which results …
