Abstract excerpt
It is well accepted that smooth muscle cells (SMCs) cultured from normal rat arterial media have different morphological and biological features compared with SMCs cultured from experimental intimal thickening (IT) 15 days after endothelial injury. It is not known, however, whether the phenotypic...
