Abstract excerpt
1. The present study aims to investigate whether phenotypic changes, reported to occur in cultured isolated airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells, are of relevance to intact ASM. Moreover, we aimed to gain insight into the signalling pathways involved. 2. Culturing of bovine tracheal smooth muscle (BTSM) strips for up to 8 days in the presence of 10% foetal bovine serum caused a time-dependent (t(1/2)=2.8 days)...
