Does balloon angioplasty alter the time-course expression of NMMHC-B in the vessel wall of porcine coronary arteries?
NMMHC-B is expressed in proliferating cells in the adventitia and neointima after balloon angioplasty, but its expression is not limited to the proliferative state.
León et al. (1997) studied this question.
