Obtained from human coronary arteries, our primary Human Coronary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells (HCASMC) exhibit positive staining for smooth muscle α-actin. These cells play a critical role in supplying blood to the heart, with atherosclerosis-induced obstruction leading to myocardial infarction. HCASMC are expertly suited for investigating the function of smooth muscle cells in atherosclerotic plaque formation and other conditions such as hypertension. Moreover, they serve as valuable tools for testing stent-graft compatibility.
