Abstract excerpt
To elucidate the mechanism of migration of vascular smooth-muscle cells (SMCs) from media to intima, we have investigated the phenotypic modulation of the medial SMC at bifurcation of the celiac artery in 5 children and 3 young persons using a transmission electron microscope. We counted the number of separated SMCs from the elastic layers, although the medial SMCs are fundamentally attached to the elastic...
