Polarity Control in Migrating Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells: N-cadherin Localization and Function

Vascular endothelial cell loss initiates directional migration of medial smooth muscle cells into the arterial intima contributing to in-stent restenosis, atherosclerosis and coronary arterial by-pass graft failure. N-cadherin is a cell-cell adhesion molecule that mediates the interaction between va...
