Abstract excerpt
Phenotypic modulation of smooth muscle cells is closely associated with vasculogenesis, enterogenesis and some diseases such as atherosclerosis, hypertension and leiomyogenic tumorigenicity. During phenotypic modulation, smooth muscle cells change their morphology, cell function and biochemical characteristics. Recent studies have focused on the regulation mechanism of smooth muscle cell-specific genes at the...
