Abstract excerpt
CD9, a member of the tetraspanin family, and very late-acting (VLA) integrins are known to associate and form functional units on the surface of several cell types. We studied the changes in expression of CD9 and beta1-integrins (CD29, VLA) in human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) under in vitro culture conditions mimicking proliferative vascular diseases. We also investigated possible interactions between...
