Abstract excerpt
Cultured arterial smooth muscle cells (SMCs) with distinct phenotypic features have been described by several laboratories; however, it is not presently known whether this phenotypic heterogeneity can be maintained within an in vivo environment. To answer this question, we have seeded into the intima of denuded rat carotid artery 2 SMC populations with well-established distinct biological features, ie,...
