Vanadium pentoxide induces pulmonary inflammation and tumor promotion in a strain-dependent manner
(East Carolina University, 2010-04-12)Background: Elevated levels of air pollution are associated with increased risk of lung cancer. Particulate matter (PM) contains transition metals that may potentiate neoplastic development through the induction of oxidative ... -

Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein regulates arterial smooth muscle cell migration
(East Carolina University, 2016-09-08)Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a multi-faceted pathology that remains the number one killer of all Americans and people worldwide. Vascular inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, extracellular matrix imbalance, and arterial ... -
Why Does Exercise “Trigger� Adaptive Protective Responses in the Heart?
(2015-05)Numerous epidemiological studies suggest that individuals who exercise have decreased cardiac morbidity and mortality. Pre-clinical studies in animal models also find clear cardioprotective phenotypes in animals that ... -
YC-1 Stimulates the Expression of Gaseous Monoxide-Generating Enzymes in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
(East Carolina University, 2009-01)The benzylindazole derivative 3-(5′-hydroxymethyl-2′-furyl)-1-benzyl indazole (YC-1) is an allosteric stimulator of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) that sensitizes the enzyme to the gaseous ligands carbon monoxide (CO) and ...
