Molecular Regulation of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Differentiation in Development and Disease
TL;DR: The focus of this review is to provide an overview of the current state of knowledge of molecular mechanisms/processes that control differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) during normal development and maturation of the vasculature, as well as how these mechanisms/ processeses are altered in vascular injury or disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
PIAS1 activates the expression of smooth muscle cell differentiation marker genes by interacting with serum response factor and class I basic helix-loop-helix proteins.
TL;DR: Results provide novel evidence that PIAS1 modulates transcriptional activation of SMC marker genes through cooperative interactions with both SRF and class I bHLH proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnostic Dilemma in Fatal Paraquat Poisoning: An Autopsy Case Report
TL;DR: A 22-year-old man was brought with a history of high-grade fever, sore throat, and oral ulcers for around a week, and was symptomatically treated at multiple hospitals and was worked up for suspected diagnoses like diphtheria and influenza (H1N1) as mentioned in this paper .
