Abstract excerpt
We previously demonstrated that after several days of serum deprivation about one-sixth of confluent cultured canine tracheal myocytes acquire an elongated, structurally and functionally contractile phenotype. These myocytes demonstrated significant shortening on ACh exposure. To evaluate the mechanism by which these myocytes acquire responsiveness to ACh, we assessed receptor-Ca(2+) coupling using fura 2-AM...
