Contribution of the Potassium Channels K<sub>V</sub>1.3 and K<sub>Ca</sub>3.1 to Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation in Growing Collateral Arteries

Collateral artery growth (arteriogenesis) involves the proliferation of vascular endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Whereas the proliferation of ECs is directly related to shear stress, the driving force for arteriogenesis, little is known about the mechanisms of SMC proliferati...
