## Abstract Progressive stenosis or occlusion of bi ateral internal carotid arteries by fibrocellular intimal thickening results in cerebral ischemia in moyamoya disease. The etiology is unknown. We examined cultured arterial smooth muscle cells (SMC) from scalp arteries of five patients with moyam
