Single-walled carbon nanotubes promote rat vascular adventitial fibroblasts to transform into myofibroblasts by SM(22)-α expression

The aim of this study was to explore whether single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) can be used as artery tissue-engineering materials by promoting vascular adventitial fibroblasts (VAFs) to transform into myofibroblasts (MFs) and to find the signal pathway involved in this process. VAFs were primary...
