Extracellular proteoglycans (PGs) purified from cultured human arterial endothelial cells were tested for their effects on the proliferation of human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). Fractions containing perlecan, the basement membrane heparan sulphate (HS) PG, the large chondrotin sulphate (CS)

After cardiovascular intervention, smooth muscle cells (SMC) are directly exposed to blood flow and thus their behavior might be affected by fluid hemodynamic forces. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of fluid shear stress on the growth rate of SMC. Human aortic smooth muscle cells (
## Background: Antiangiogenic therapy for prostatic cancer should offer additional ways of combating tumor progression. knowledge of the possible angiogenic factors expressed by prostate cancer cell lines would therefore assist in the design and testing of such potential treatments. ## Methods: C
## Abstract Tissue engineering has the potential to replace damaged tissues and organs. Diffusion limitation of cell growth in threeβdimensional (3D) scaffolds is a significant constraint in most tissue engineering applications. This study describes a scaffold architecture that improves mass transf
