Activation and Contraction of Human “Vascular” Smooth Muscle Cells Grown From Circulating Blood Progenitors

Activation and Contraction of Human “Vascular” Smooth Muscle Cells Grown From Circulating Blood Progenitors

Blood outgrowth smooth muscle cells (BO-SMCs) offer the means to study vascular cells without the requirement for surgery providing opportunities for drug discovery, tissue engineering, and personalized medicine. However, little is known about these cells which meant that their therapeutic potential...
