Changes in dense-body structures in airway smooth muscle adapted to different lengths
Dense bodies in smooth muscle are thought to be the equivalents of Z-disks found in striated muscle. Using three-dimensional reconstruction of serial sections of electron micrographs of ASM, we have confirmed previous studies showing that dense-body (DB) aggregates inside smooth muscle cells resembl...
