Abstract excerpt
Little is known about the phenotypic changes that occur in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) as the developing aorta undergoes the transition from a loosely organized, highly replicative tissue to a morphologically mature, quiescent tissue. In the present study, we have characterized the in viv...
