Abstract excerpt
Elastin, a major constituent of the media, may play an important role in the attachment, migration, and phenotypic properties of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC). We examined binding proteins and binding sites on elastin in rabbit arterial SMC in primary culture. Freshly isolated cells on alpha...
