Abstract excerpt
Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation significantly contributes to atherosclerotic plaque formation and limits the success rate of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. We derived a population of porcine coronary artery SMCs to characterize VSMC proliferation and phenotype in preparation to study the molecular actions of VSMC mitogens and antiproliferative agents. Growth assays were designed...
