Benidipine, a Calcium Channel Blocker, Regulates Proliferation and Phenotype of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
Abstract.: Hyperproliferation of phenotypically modified vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is one of the major factors in the development of atherosclerosis and restenosis. Previously it was demonstrated that benidipine, a dihydropyridine-calcium channel antagonist, reduced neointimal formation i...
