Abstract excerpt
Earlier in vitro studies suggest opposing roles of laminin and fibronectin in regulation of differentiated properties of vascular smooth muscle cells. To find out if this may also be the case in vivo, we used immunoelectron microscopy to study the distribution of these proteins during formation of intimal thickening after arterial injury. In parallel, cell structure and content of smooth muscle alpha-actin was...
