Close relation of arterial ICC-like cells to the contractile phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cell [PDF]
This work aimed to establish the lineage of cells similar to the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), the arterial ICC-like (AIL) cells, which have recently been described in resistance arteries, and to study their location in the artery wall.

Syndecan-1 regulates vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype.
ObjectiveWe examined the role of syndecan-1 in modulating the phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cells in the context of endogenous inflammatory factors and altered microenvironments that occur in disease or injury-induced vascular remodeling.Methods ...

Origin and differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells [PDF]
Abstractimage Vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs), a major structural component of the vessel wall, not only play a key role in maintaining vascular structure but also perform various functions. During embryogenesis, SMC recruitment from their progenitors is an important step in the formation of the embryonic vascular system.
