C57BL/6 Mouse Vein Smooth Muscle Cells

Description

C57BL/6 Mouse Vein Smooth Muscle Cells are derived from the tunica media of venous vessels in C57BL/6 mice. These cells provide contractile support and regulate venous return and vascular resistance. Morphologically, these cells exhibit a spindle-shaped appearance. These cells express smooth muscle marker such as α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA). Vein smooth muscle cells contribute to vessel wall tone, structural remodeling, and response to vasoactive stimuli. Studies have linked these cells to varicose vein formation, venous hypertension, and chronic vascular conditions. Mouse vein smooth muscle cells are widely used in vascular physiology, pharmacology, and pathology research. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles in vitro to maintain cell viability and function. The cells undergo rigorous screening and isolation procedures, and are rigorously tested to ensure they are free of contamination from mycoplasma, fungi, yeast, and bacteria.
