Abstract excerpt
Smooth muscle cell (SMC) maturation during embryonic development of coronary arteries and veins was studied in rats using different markers of the contractile phenotypes. The spatio-temporal pattern of distribution of these markers compared with the developing tunica media was examined. Alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) was the first marker of the SMC in the tunica media of coronary arteries found in ED16...
