Abstract excerpt
A feature of vascular smooth muscle cells is their unique ability to exist in multiple phenotypes permitting a broad range of functions that include contraction, proliferation, or synthesis and secretion of extracellular matrix. Although it is known that these phenotypes can be overlapping, the mechanisms that regulate phenotypic modulation are still unclear. Given that endothelial cells are known to convey...
