Both cell-matrix and cell-cell interactions are important regulators of the function of most human cells. In this study we investigated how these interactions controlled the production of vasodilators nitric oxide (NO), and prostacyclin (PGI 2 ), in freshly isolated human umbilical vein endothelial
## Abstract Basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF‐2) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play key roles in vascular remodeling. Because FGF‐2 controls a number of proteolytic activities in various cell types, we tested its effect on vascular endothelial cell expression of MMP‐3 (stromelysin‐1), a br
