The endothelium is the single layer of cells lining all blood vessels, and it is a remarkable cardiovascular control centre. Each endothelial cell has only a small number (on average …
Vasomotion refers to spontaneous oscillation of small vessels observed in many microvascular beds. It is an intrinsic phenomenon unrelated to cardiac rhythm or neural and …

Aims We have previously characterized a cGMP-dependent Ca2+-activated Cl–current in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and have shown its dependence on bestrophin-3 …
Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion is pulsatile and driven by intrinsic oscillations in metabolism, electrical activity, and Ca 2+ in pancreatic islets. Periodic variations in glucose …

Communication between vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is dependent on gap junctions and is regulated by the Na-K-ATPase. The Na-K-ATPase is therefore important for …
Conduction processes in the vasculature have traditionally been described using cable theory, ie, locally induced signals decaying passively along the arteriolar wall. The decay is …
