Smooth Muscle Function and Organization of the Resistance Artery Wall.

      Аннотация: A structural change in diameter of arteries involves reorganization of both cells and extracellular matrix components. This process is known as vascular remodeling. Remodeling of arteries is associated with common vascular pathological conditions such as hypertension, myocardial infarction, stroke and cerebral hemorrhages. This book includes nine chapters in total focused on the components of artery wall; specifically function of smooth muscle cells and the role of contractile plasticity of smooth muscle cells.
