Abstract excerpt
Smooth-muscle cell (SMC) myosin expression, SMC alpha-actin, h-caldesmon and calponin expression were studied in developing SMC of embryonic aorta as well as in adult human aorta and coronary arteries. It was found that ontogenesis is associated with SMC phenotypic modulations. In 8-23-week embryos SMC express SMC myosin and alpha-actin. In adult humans arterial SMC express all the markers studied. Normal...
