Serum can overcome contact inhibition in confluent human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells.

Serum can overcome contact inhibition in confluent human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells.

Pulmonary artery endothelial cells (PAEC) in an intact vessel are continually exposed to serum, but unless injured, do not proliferate, constrained by confluence. In contrast, pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC) attain, and maintain, confluence in the presence of minimal serum, protected fr...
