Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) is altered in several arterial pathologies, including the neointima formed after acute arterial injury. This study examined the time course of this phenotypic change in relation to changes in the amount and distribution of matrix glycosaminoglycans. METHODS: The immunochemical staining of heparan sulphates (HS) and chondroitin sulphates (CS) in the...
