Abstract excerpt
In this investigation, two distinct strategies for generating vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) from adult Wistar rats were systematically compared, viz: direct enzymatic isolation from the thoracic aorta and differentiation from bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Thoracic aorta-derived VSMCs, harvested by stepwise enzymatic (Collagenase Type 1 (3 mg/mL) and Elastase (1 mg/mL)) digestion for...
