Apoptosis in serum-deprived vascular smooth muscle cells: Evidence for cell volume-independent mechanism
Shrinkage is the earliest hallmark of cells undergoing apoptosis. This study examines the role of this phenomenon in the onset of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) apoptosis triggered by growth factor withdra...
