Rat Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells

Short Description

Research on the Rat Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells is essential to the study of aortic dissection, vascular calcification, arterial stiffness, hypertension-related remodeling, and transplant arteriopathy. The aorta is the largest artery and the main vessel that carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle into the systemic circulation. All arteries in the systemic circulation arise from the aorta either directly (like the coronary or brachiocephalic arteries) or through its branches (e.g., femoral artery via the iliac arteries), distributing oxygenated blood to peripheral tissues and organs. Cells isolated from the aorta can be used in research on systemic circulation and vascular diseases, such as aortic aneurysm. The Rat Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells are to be used with Rat Aortic Smooth Muscle Cell Medium (Cat. No. ACM0193). This product is intended for laboratory in vitro use only. It is not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical applications.
