Effects of arterial wall stress on vasomotion

Jean-Jacques Meister, Jean-Louis Bény, Roger Sauser, Michèle Koenigsberger

Smooth muscle and endothelial cells in the arterial wall are exposed to mechanical stress. Indeed blood flow induces intraluminal pressure variations and shear stress. An increase in pressure may induce a vessel contraction, a phenomenon known as the myoge ...

Evidence for signaling via gap junctions from smooth muscle to endothelial cells in rat mesenteric arteries: possible implication of a second messenger

Jean-Jacques Meister, Jean-Louis Bény, Roger Sauser, Michèle Koenigsberger, Philippe Pittet, Mathieu Lamboley

We investigated heterocellular communication in rat mesenteric arterial strips at the cellular level using confocal microscopy. To visualize Ca(2+) changes in different cell populations, smooth muscle cells (SMCs) were loaded with Fluo-4 and endothelial ce ...
