Abstract excerpt
The highly organized histological architecture of the vascular wall and the specialized cellular phenotypes are perturbed in conditions such as atherosclerosis, restenosis, and hypertension. Alterations of endothelial cell (EC) phenotype in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) as an effect of alteration of extracellular matrix (ECM) composition have not been well understood. In vitro study of EC phenotype is limited...
