Abstract excerpt

The current study aimed to investigate the relevance of the gap junction protein connexin Cx43 in coronary artery smooth muscle cell (SMC) heterogeneity and coronary artery restenosis. SMCs were isolated from the coronary artery of 3‑month‑old pigs using enzymatic digestion. Two distinct SMC populations were isolated: Rhomboid (R) and spindle‑shaped (S) cells. S‑SMCs exhibited relatively lower rates of...
