Postnatal development of extracellular matrix and vascular function in small arteries of the rat

Postnatal development of extracellular matrix and vascular function in small arteries of the rat

Introduction: Vascular extracellular matrix (ECM) is dominated by elastic fibers (elastin with fibrillin-rich microfibrils) and collagens. Current understanding of ECM protein development largely comes from studies of conduit vessels (e.g., aorta) while resistance vessel data are sparse. With an emp...
