Haemostasis - 1 Jan 1990

Abstract excerpt
Whereas vascular smooth muscle cell-extracellular matrix interactions have been intensively studied, our knowledge regarding the role that matrix plays in regulating the growth state and contractile phenotype of vessel wall cells is fragmentary. Of particular interest has been the demonstrable ability of (1) heparin to selectively inhibit vascular smooth muscle cell growth in vitro; (2) aortic endothelial cells...
