Differentiation and Phenotypic Modulation of Arterial Smooth Muscle Cells

  • Chapter

Abstract

The process of differentiation of a cell involves its transformation from an initially totipotential cell to the specialized form of the adult as occurs, for instance, in normal development. A fully differentiated cell is one, therefore, which has lost all potentiality to develop into another cell type.
