Lifeline Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells in Covid-19 Research The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 has dramatically changed the world we live in today. Considerable resources in the medical and scientific…
Smooth Muscle Cell Function Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are specialized cells found especially in hollow organs with contractile function like the arteries and bladder. Contraction and relaxation of SMCs regulates…
Bladder Anatomy and Function The bladder is responsible for collecting and storing the urine produced by the kidneys until it is voided from the body during urination. The inner epithelial…
Smooth Muscle Cells: Involuntary Contractile Cells Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are spindle-shaped cells found throughout the body in the walls of many organs that have contractile function. For example, in…
Smooth Muscle Cells and Phenotypic Switching Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are contractile cells found in various organs including the prostate, bladder, and uterus. In particular, SMCs that are located in…
Smooth Muscle Cells: Regulators of Organ Contraction Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are found in the walls of various organs, including the uterus, bladder, gastrointestinal tract, blood vessels, and more. They…
Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells and Phenotype Switching Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are specialized cell types found in the walls of many organs, including the stomach, small and large intestines, bladder,…
Large Vessel Endothelial and Smooth Muscle Cells The vessels that make up the circulatory system are multi-layered complex organs. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the tissues…
Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Regulate Vessel Homeostasis and Dysfunction Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are found in blood vessel walls and regulate various aspects of vessel homeostasis, including contraction, dilation,…
Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are present in most contractile organs, including the bladder, gastrointestinal tract, and blood vessels. Smooth muscle cells in blood vessels are termed vascular smooth muscle cells…
Smooth muscle cells are located in many organs throughout the body, most notably in the vasculature, but also in the bladder, uterus, and gastrointestinal system. They regulate contraction in…
Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are found in many organs, including the GI tract, uterus, bladder, and vasculature. In particular, vascular SMCs (VSMCs) are found within vessel walls, and their contractile…
Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) reside in the outer layers of blood vessels and other contractile organs, including the bladder, uterus, respiratory tract, and gastrointestinal tract. SMCs contract involuntarily, and molecular…
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) line blood vessels, providing a structural foundation and controlling vessel constriction and relaxation, which regulates blood flow and pressure. Vascular smooth muscle cell contraction is…
Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are involuntary, non-striated muscle cells that line the insides of hollow organs such as arteries, lungs, bladder, the digestive system, and the reproductive system. SMC function…
Lifeline® has optimized and cell tested a medium specifically for use with smooth muscle cells from both vascular and lymphatic tissues. VascuLife® SMC Complete Kit for smooth muscle cell culture…
