Smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation plays a critical role in several pathological states, including atherosclerosis and hypertension. Heparin suppresses SMC proliferation in vivo and in culture, but the mechanism of action is still poorly understood. In an accompanying article in this issue (Leto
Aberrant vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) hyperplasia is the hallmark of atherosclerosis and restenosis seen after vascular surgery. Heparin inhibits VSMC proliferation in animal models and in cell culture. To test our hypothesis that heparin mediates its antiproliferative effect by altering phosp
