Abstract excerpt

The synthesis of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) by contractile and irreversible synthetic phenotypes of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC), and their response to endothelial cell conditioned medium (ECCM), has been investigated. Contractile SMC, (with a high volume fraction of myofilaments) were obtain...
