Abstract excerpt
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) reversibly coordinate the expression of VSMC-specific genes and the genes required for cell cycle progression. Here we demonstrate that isoforms of the MEF2/RSRF transcription factor are expressed in VSMCs and in vascular tissue. The MEF2A DNA-binding activity...
