A method for three-dimensional quantification of vascular smooth muscle orientation: application in viable murine carotid arteries

When studying in vivo arterial mechanical behaviour using constitutive models, smooth muscle cells (SMCs) should be considered, while they play an important role in regulating arterial vessel tone. Current constitutive models assume a strictly circumferential SMC orientation, without any dispersion....
