2. 1. Mechanochemical Modeling of Smooth Muscle Activation

   Author : Sae-Il Murtada; Gerhard A. Holzapfel; Robert McMeeking; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biomechanics; Muscle contraction; Smooth muscle; Contractile unit; Filament overlap; Intracellular calcium; Carotid artery; Mathematical model;

   Abstract : Smooth muscle has an important role in several physiological processes, where it regulates the wall tension and the size of hollow organs. In blood vessels, the contraction and relaxation of smooth muscle contribute to the mechanical stability of the vessel wall and determines the diameter. READ MORE

4. 2. DNA flow cytometry of cytokeratin selected breast cancer cells as prognostic indicator

   Author : Sten Wingren; Mårten Fernö; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : DNA flow cytometry is used for the estimation of cell proliferation (S-phase fraction) and abnormalities in cellular DNA content (DNA ploidy), parameters which yield prognostic information in breast carcinomas. However, stromal, inflammatory, and residual non-neoplastic epithelial cells overlap cancer cells in the DNA histogram and complicate the calculation of DNA ploidy and S-phase fraction. READ MORE
