Abstract excerpt
Cytoskeletal reorganization of the smooth muscle cell in response to contractile stimulation may be an important fundamental process in regulation of tension development. We used confocal microscopy to analyze the effects of cholinergic stimulation on localization of the cytoskeletal proteins vinculin, paxillin, talin and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) in freshly dissociated tracheal smooth muscle cells. All four...
