Integrin β3 mediates cerebrovascular remodelling through Src/ClC‐3 volume‐regulated Cl− channel signalling pathway

“…Recent evidence obtained by us and others has demonstrated that the ClC-3 chloride channel plays an important role in the vascular remodelling that occurs during hypertension (Dai et al, 2005;Zheng et al, 2013), by accelerating the proliferation of VSMCs (Wang et al, 2002;Tang et al, 2008) and preventing their apoptosis (Okada et al, 2006;Qian et al, 2011). We previously found that ClC-3 channel activity and protein expression were significantly increased in BASMCs from 2K2C hypertensive rats and these increases paralleled the severity of cerebrovascular remodelling (Shi et al, 2007).…”

“…There is accumulating evidence supporting the important roles of ClC-3 in proliferation (Wang et al, 2002;Tang et al, 2008), apoptosis Okada et al, 2006;Qian et al, 2011) and migration (Ganapathi et al, 2013) in VSMCs, making ClC-3 a novel therapeutic target against vascular remodelling. We recently found that knockout of ClC-3 in vivo attenuated the disorganization of VSMCs and extracellular matrix accumulation in DOCA-salt hypertension (Liu et al, 2010;Zheng et al, 2013).…”

Research progress and future perspectives on electromagnetic wave absorption of fibrous materials

“… 5 , 6 , 7 For the MA materials, the traditional metals have inherent limitations such as impedance mismatching, large size, high density and lack of corrosion resistance, such as Fe, Co, Ni, 8 and Fe 3 O 4 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 hinder their practical application. Recently, fibrous materials, e.g., carbon fibers 13 , 14 and silicon carbide fibers 15 , 16 have attracted extensive attentions and show a great potential in MA beneficial from light weight, high conductivity, good mechanical properties, as well as the structural featured with large specific surface area easy to compound with other materials.…”

“…Among traditional methods, carbonization and pyrolysis are mainly techniques for preparing carbon fibers. 15 , 16 , 17 By taking advantages of their low specific mass, large specific surface area, high conductivity, good chemical stability and superior mechanical strength, CFs have attracted extensive attentions in the field of EMW absorption. In addition, relatively low price and ease of use make CFs as a promising candidate absorber compared with other carbon-based materials for this application.…”
