Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Cultured gastrointestinal smooth muscle cells have been shown to dedifferentiate and reinitiate their myogenic program in vitro. The aim of this study was to determine whether the cellular phenotypes observed in vitro were similar to those previously characterized in vivo. METH...
