Variations in the vessel radius of segmented surfaces of intracranial aneurysms significantly influence the fluid velocities given by computer simulations. It is important to generate models that capture the effect of these variations in order to have a better interpretation of the numerically predicted hemodynamics. Also, it is highly relevant to…[Read more]

Furthermore, Ang II-induced ERK5 activated translocation was mediated by the PKD pathway. Consequently, inhibiting PKCɛ, PKD and ERK5 by siRNA significantly attenuated Ang II-induced MEF2D activation, ANP and BNP mRNA expression, and [3H]-Leu incorporation.

Our studies are the first to show that the PKCɛ/PKD/ERK5/MEF2D pathway plays an i…[Read more]
