## Abstract Fibrin serves as a provisional extracellular matrix (ECM) for arterial smooth muscle cells (ASMC) after vascular injury, yet little is known about the effect of fibrin on ECM remodeling by these cells. To address this question, monkey ASMC were grown on fibrin gels and tissue culture (T
## Abstract Plateletβderived growth factor (PDGF) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of arterial atherosclerosis and venous neointimal hyperplasia. We examined the effects of PDGF isoforms on smooth muscle cells (SMCs) from arterial and venous origins in order to further understand the differe
## Abstract Plateletβderived growth factor (PDGF) has been implicated in smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation, a key event in the development of myointimal hyperplasia in vascular grafts. Recent evidence suggests that the PDGF receptor (PDGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor, imatinib, can prevent arte
