Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Expression of embryonic myosin heavy chain isoforms and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 by neointimal vascular smooth muscle cells are independent indicators of atherosclerotic plaque development in both human beings and experimental animal models. We examined the chronologic change in smooth muscle cell myosin heavy chain isoforms, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 expression, and mononuclear cell...
