Abstract excerpt
Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotypic modulation is a key factor in vascular pathology. We have investigated the role of Notch receptor signaling in controlling human vascular smooth muscle cell (hVSMC) differentiation in vitro and established a role for cyclic strain-induced changes in Notch signaling in promoting this phenotypic response. The expression of alpha-actin, calponin, myosin, and smoothelin...
