Abstract excerpt
We have recently shown that all-trans retinoic acid (tRA) modulates arterial smooth muscle cell (SMC) morphologic features and biochemical composition in vitro. It has been proposed that different SMC phenotypes coexist in arteries, which may be retrieved in culture: hence, a differential action of tRA on distinct SMC subsets is conceivable. We have examined the effect of tRA on SMC proliferation, migration,...
