Theoretical Investigations of Communication in the Microcirculation: Conducted Responses, Myoendothelial Projections and Endothelium Derived Hyperpolarizing Factor
The contractile state of microcirculatory vessels is a major determinant of the blood pressure of the whole systemic circulation. Continuous bi-directional communication exists between the endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) that regulates calcium (Ca2+) dynamics in these cells. T...
