Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) has been typically considered to be an endothelial-specific growth factor. However, it was recently demonstrated that VEGF can interact with non endothelial cells. In this study, we tested whether vascular smooth muscles cells (VSMCs) can express VEGF recept
## Abstract Endothelial cells (EC) are in contact with the underlying smooth muscle cells (SMC). The interactions between EC and SMC in the vessel wall are considered to be involved in the control of growth and function of blood vessels. A coβculture system of EC and SMC and a method for separation
