title: [Changes in the spatial organization and structure of the smooth-muscle cells of the tunica media of the major arteries during lengthwise stretching in situ].
abstract: It has been shown that in vivo stretching of the arterial wall leads to the loss of cell-cell contacts between medial smooth muscle cells (SMC), and to the change in the cell cooperation type. It is accompanied by the increase in SMC proliferative activity, and by changes in their shape and phenotype, from the contractile to the synthetic one. The increase in the number of extracellular connective tissue structures occurs in the intercellular space.
