Highlights potential cytoskeletal mechanisms in vascular healing; hypothesis-generating from animal data and requires clinical validation.
The study demonstrates that cytoskeletal reorganization, specifically of microfilament bundles, is a key mechanism in endothelial cell migration during reendothelialization.
Gotlieb et al. (1984) studied this question.
