Abstract excerpt
The media of the normal bovine main pulmonary artery (MPA) is composed of phenotypically heterogeneous smooth muscle cells (SMC) with markedly different proliferative capabilities in response to serum, mitogens, and hypoxia. Little, however, is known of the SMC phenotype in distal pulmonary arteries (PA), particularly in arterioles, which regulate the pulmonary circulation. With a panel of muscle-specific...
