title: Hemostatic properties of normal and perturbed vascular cells.
abstract: Vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells actively maintain vessel wall thromboresistance by expressing several antithrombotic properties. With perturbation or injury, vascular cells express thrombogenic properties. Loss of vessel wall thromboresistance may be associated with thrombosis and vascular disease.
