Abstract excerpt
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are involved in a number of vascular disease processes including hypertension and atherosclerosis. However, their role in the pathogenesis of vascular disease is largely undetermined. We and others have studied rat VSMCs in cell culture as a model for VSMC beh...
