Abstract excerpt
We compared the effects of endothelial-synthesized matrix and purified matrix molecules on pericyte (PC) and aortic smooth muscle cell (SMC) growth, heparin sensitivity, and contractile phenotype in vitro. When PC are plated on endothelial-synthesized (EC) matrix, cell number is, on average, 3.1-fold higher than identical populations grown on plastic. Under the same conditions, SMC proliferation is stimulated...
