Smooth Muscle Cell Heterogeneity in Pulmonary and Systemic Vessels
1 Jul 1997
Abstract excerpt
Experimental evidence is rapidly accumulating which demonstrates that the arterial media in both pulmonary and systemic vessels is not composed of a phenotypically homogeneous population of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) but rather of heterogeneous subpopulations of cells with unique developmental lineages.
