Formation of the blood vessel wall depends on the recruitment, proliferation, and differentiation of smooth muscle cell (SMC) precursors. The temporal events associated with the onset of expression of several SMC proteins have been well characterized in mouse and avian species. However, the timing o

The calcineurin-mediated pathway is involved in skeletal and cardiac hypertrophy and vascular development in vivo, but the relationship between this pathway and the phenotype of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) remains unknown. Using visceral SMCs in culture as a model system of differentiated SMCs, we in
The periorbital sheath serves as a major pathway for sympathetic nerves traveling to distal orbital targets in the rat. This tissue accommodates sympathetic fiber sprouting in the neonate but becomes impassable by postnatal day 30 (PND 30). In contrast, smooth muscle target remains receptive to symp
