Input impedance of the lower abdominal aorta in chronically instrumented fetal sheep.

abstract：:Despite intense interest in understanding the differentiation of vascular smooth muscle, very little is known about the cellular and molecular mechanisms that control differentiation of this cell type. Progress in this field has been hampered by the lack of an inducible in vitro system for study of the early steps of ...
