- Abstract
Focuses on a study which demonstrated that endothelial-derived heparin binding EGF-like growth factor mediate the recruitment of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC). Interaction essential for the formation of mature vascular structures; Manner in which SMC stabilize vascular structures; Mediators considered important of the paracrine interactions between endothelial cells and SMC.
