Abstract excerpt
Vascular smooth muscle cells (V-SMC) alter their functions from contraction to production of extracellular matrices during the response to injury of the arterial wall. Accumulation of these matrices characterize the chronic structural change of arteriosclerosis. In this paper, we reported as follows. (1) V-SMC freshly isolated from human aortic media had strong reactivity with anti-smooth muscle specific...
