Abstract excerpt
Arterial smooth muscle cells produce large amounts of extracellular matrix molecules during repair processes and in primary culture. This occurs after a transition of the cells from a contractile to a synthetic phenotype and together with the acquisition of proliferative capacity. Here, the depos...
