Chronotherapy of cancer: periodic perturbations in vascular growth and metastasis
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019-07)
A non-autonomous model was developed for vascular tumor growth and cancer metastasis under periodic perturbations that simulate chronotherapy. It was found that for a critical amplitude and a perturbation frequency of twice ...
EPR spectroscopic evidence of iron-catalysed free radical formation in chronic mountain sickness: Dietary causes and vascular consequences
(Elsevier, 2022)
Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) is a high-altitude (HA) maladaptation syndrome characterised by elevated systemic oxidative-nitrosative stress (OXNOS) due to a free radical-mediated reduction in vascular nitric oxide (NO) ...
The evolution of dermal shield vascularization in Testudinata and Pseudosuchia: phylogenetic constraints versus ecophysiological adaptations
(The Royal Society, 2020-01)
Studies on living turtles have demonstrated that shells are involved in the resistance to hypoxia during apnea via bone acidosis buffering; a process which is complemented with cutaneous respiration, transpharyngeal and ...
Modeling the Evans Blue Dilution Method for the Measurement of Plasma Volume in Small Animals: A New Optimized Method
(Springer, 2018)
The measurement of plasma volume (V p ) in humans and animals is frequently performed by the Evans blue dye dilution method. However, after injection of Evans blue into the circulation, no steady state is observed because ...
TRPC6 regulates phenotypic switching of vascular smooth muscle cells through plasma membrane potential-dependent coupling with PTEN
(Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, 2019-09)
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play critical roles in the stability and tonic regulation of vascular homeostasis. VSMCs can switch back and forth between highly proliferative synthetic and fully differentiated ...
