Three-Dimensional "Honeycomb" Culture System that Helps to Maintain the Contractile Phenotype of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in the normal aorta are described as having a contractile phenotype because they can contract and do not proliferate. VSMCs in pathological conditions such as atherosclerosis and restenosis can proliferate and migrate, but lose their ability to contract, which is...
