Abstract excerpt
The proliferation, differentiation, and protein synthesis of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) play important roles in vascular remodeling. Here, we compared the genetic programming and signaling of SMCs in collagen matrix as a three-dimensional (3-D) environment and on a two-dimensional (2-D) surface. By using DNA microarrays with 9600 genes, we showed that 77 genes were expressed more than twofold and 22...
