This book presents key concepts in the structure and function of
vascular smooth muscle cells in health and disease. Supplemental
reading may be drawn from the extensive references listed at the
end of each chapter. Vascular smooth muscle cell is the major cell
type in blood vessels. Dysfunction of vascular smooth muscle cells
is an important cause of vascular diseases, for example,
atherosclerosis, hypertension, and circulatory shock. Vascular
smooth muscle cells are phenotypically plastic, capable of
switching between two major phenotypes - contractile/differentiated
phenotype and invasive/proliferative phenotype in response to
environmental clues. Chapter 1 introduces the major areas of
research presented in this monograph. Chapters 2 to 4 address the
structure and function of the contractile/differentiated phenotype
of vascular smooth muscle cell. Chapters 5 and 6 address the
developmental basis of vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype and
structure and function of podosomes (invasive organelles) in the
invasive/proliferative phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cell.
Chapters 7 to 9 address the role of vascular smooth muscle cell
dysfunction in vascular diseases - atherosclerosis, hypertension,
and circulatory shock.
