209 results about "Myocyte" patented technology

A myocyte (also known as a muscle cell) is the type of cell found in muscle tissue. Myocytes are long, tubular cells that develop from myoblasts to form muscles in a process known as myogenesis. There are various specialized forms of myocytes with distinct properties: cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscle cells. The striated cells of cardiac and skeletal muscles are referred to as muscle fibers. Cardiomyocytes are the muscle fibres that form the chambers of the heart, and have a single central nucleus. Skeletal muscle fibers help support and move the body and tend to have peripheral nuclei. Smooth muscle cells control involuntary movements such as the peristalsis contractions in the oesophagus and stomach.

After intravenous injection, the formed biomimetic nanocomposite actively targets endothelial cells in atherosclerotic lesions, releasing Ir-TiO2 antagonistically into the cytoplasm of plaque-containing endothelial cells and inflammatory macrophages. Once Ir-TiO2 reaches the lesion site, it exerts an enzymatic effect to achieve anti-inflammatory activity and promotes cholesterol excretion from inflammatory cells such as macrophages and smooth muscle cells at the lesion site, reducing intracellular lipid deposition, reducing foam cell formation, and promoting plaque growth. This nanotherapy can effectively prevent the progression of inflammation in atherosclerotic lesions and alleviate atherosclerosis.
