Abstract excerpt
Smooth muscle cells (SMC) play a central role in maintaining the structural and functional integrity of muscle tissue. Little is known about the early in vitro events that guide the assembly of 'bioartificial tissue' (constructs) and recapitulate the key aspects of smooth muscle differentiation and development before surgical implantation. Biomimetic approaches have been proposed that enable the identification of...
