内容説明

With contributions from leading experts, this book provides an in-depth review of the state-of-the-art of current knowledge on the biophysical principles of mechanoreception, and the phenomenon of myogenic tone and autoregulation. The controversial and fascinating new developments of the involvement of the endothelium in the mechanosensing function of blood vessels, including spontaneous vasomotion, are covered. Another chapter gives an overview of the role of mechanical forces in angiogenesis.

目次

  • Biophysics of mechanotransduction
  • Stretch-dependent myogenic tone in isolated blood vessels
  • The myogenic response in microvascular networks
  • The role of the myogenic response in autoregulation of blood flow
  • Endothelial modulation of pressure-dependent myogenic vasoconstruction
  • Pressure-induced vasoconstriction in isolated canine carotid areteries is mediated by suppression of EDRF release
  • Pressure-induced vasoconstriction and membrane depolarisation is mediated by a diffusible endothelium-derived contracting factor in cat middle cerebral arteries
