Inducement of cell tissue arrangement and vascular smooth muscle differentiation using micro-grooved concaves

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in the normal vascular wall regulate vascular contraction and dilation due to their contractility. But they change their phenotype from contractile to synthetic state and actively remodel the vascular wall in pathological conditions. Findings on the phenotypic ch...
