    Abstract The relatively limited understanding of the physiology of uterine activation prevents us from achieving optimal clinical outcomes for managing serious pregnancy disorders such as preterm birth or uterine dystocia. There is increasing awareness that multi-scale computational modeling of the uterus is a promising approach for providing a qualitative and quantitative description of uterine physiology. The overarching objective of such approach is to coalesce previously fragmentary information into a predictive and testable model of uterine activity that, in turn, informs the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to these pressing clinical problems. This article assesses current progress towards this goal. We summarize the electrophysiological basis of uterine activation as presently understood and review recent research approaches to uterine modeling at different scales from single cell to tissue, whole organ and organism with particular focus on transformative data in the last decade. We describe the positives and limitations of these approaches, thereby identifying key gaps in our knowledge on which to focus, in parallel, future computational and biological research efforts.

    Abstract Background and objective: The uterine electrohysterogram (EHG) contains important information about electrical signal propagation which may be useful to monitor and predict the progress of pregnancy towards parturition. Directed information processing has the potential to be of use in studying EHG recordings. However, so far, there is no directed information-based estimation scheme that has been applied to investigating the propagation of human EHG recordings. To realize this, the approach of directed information and its reliability and adaptability should be scientifically studied.
    Methods: We demonstrated an estimation scheme of directed information to identify the spatiotemporal relationship between the recording channels of EHG signal and assess the algorithm reliability initially using simulated data. Further, a regional identification of information flow termination (RIIFT) approach was developed and applied for the first time to extant multichannel EHG signals to reveal the terminal zone of propagation of the electrical activity associated with uterine contraction. RIIFT operates by estimating the pairwise directed information between neighboring EHG channels and identifying the location where there is the strongest inward flow of information. The method was then applied to publicly-available experimental data obtained from pregnant women with the use of electrodes arranged in a 4-by-4 grid.
    Results: Our results are consistent with the suggestions from the previous studies with the added identification of preferential sites of excitation termination - within the estimated area, the direction of surface action potential propagation towards the medial axis of uterus during contraction was discovered for 72.15% of the total cases, demonstrating that our RIIFT method is a potential tool to investigate EHG propagation for advancing our understanding human uterine excitability.
    Conclusions: We developed a new approach and applied it to multichannel human EHG recordings to investigate the electrical signal propagation involved in uterine contraction. This provides an important platform for future studies to fill knowledge gaps in the spatiotemporal patterns of electrical excitation of the human uterus.

    Abstract Diseases involving dysfunction of smooth muscle cells present a major health and socioeconomic burden, and have remained stubbornly resistant to standard therapeutic strategies. Examples include many cardiovascular diseases and spontaneous preterm birth, a complication affecting up to 11% of all pregnancies worldwide. This fuels the continued search for new drug delivery strategies to treat these conditions. The use of cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) for this purpose remains a promising, if as yet unrealized, avenue to explore. In part, this may relate to a paucity of studies investigating the application of CPPs as drug delivery vectors to human smooth muscle cells and tissues. We have sought to address this knowledge gap by reporting methods for examining the uptake of different CPP-cargo vectors to human uterine and vascular smooth muscle cells. In particular, we report here (a) that four different CPP-fluorophore conjugates, spanning masses of 1309-3435 Da, and net charges of +2 to +7, can be delivered to human isolated uterine smooth muscle cells without inducing cell toxicity; (b) that the cargo delivered by such CPPs can be fluorescent moieties and/or biologically active peptides; (c) that CPP delivery in a short time frame to native smooth muscle cells in human tissues ex vivo can be achieved. Further exploration of CPPs as tools to facilitate targeted drug delivery to native human smooth muscle tissues will assist in improving our understanding of scientific mechanisms underlying major diseases involving smooth muscle dysfunction as well as facilitating therapeutic investigations.

    Abstract Background: Adequate blood flow into coronary micro-arteries is essential for myocardial function. Here we assess the mechanisms responsible for amplifying blood flow into myogenically-contracting human and porcine intramyocardial micro-arteries
    Methods: Human and porcine atrial and ventricular small intramyocardial coronary arteries (IMCAs) were studied with pressure myography and imaged using confocal microscopy and serial section/3-D reconstruction EM.
    Results: 3D rendered ultrastructure images of human right atrial (RA-) IMCAs revealed extensive homo-and hetero-cellular contacts, including to longitudinally-arranged smooth muscle cells (l-SMCs) found between the endothelial cells (ECs) and radially-arranged medial SMCs (r-SMCs). Local and conducted vasodilatation followed focal application of bradykinin in both human and porcine RA-IMCAs, and relied on hyperpolarization of SMCs, but not nitric oxide. Bradykinin initiated asynchronous oscillations in endothelial cell Ca
    Conclusions: These data extend our understanding of the mechanisms that coordinate human coronary microvascular blood flow and the mechanistic overlap with porcine IMCAs. The unusual presence of l-SMCs provides an additional pathway for rapid intercellular signaling between cells of the coronary artery wall. Local and conducted vasodilation follow hyperpolarization of the ECs or SMCs, and contact-coupling between l-SMCs and r-SMCs likely facilitates this vasodilation.
