| General description: | Lot specific orders are not able to be placed through the web. Contact your local sales rep for more details. PCASMC were used to investigate the role of c-Jun in smooth muscle proliferation, and to show that c-Jun inhibition abrogates smooth muscle cell growth and intimal thickening after arterial injury (Khachigian, 2002). PCASMC were also used to develop poly (l-lactide-co-caprolacton Characterization: positive for smooth muscle cell specific alpha-actin expression. |
