In this study, the authors investigated the modulatory effects of LIM-only protein FHL2/DRA/SLIM3 in phenotypic changes of Smooth Muscles Cells (SMC) in SMC-rich lesion formation.
They have found that FHL2 regulates SMC’s functions during vascular proliferative diseases by modulating Cyclin D1 expression via ERK 1/2 signaling pathway.
Congratulations to the authors, who turned to tebu-bio’s range of products when selecting their growth factors to culture aortic SMC for in vitro scratch-wound and migration assays.
