Human Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells, Descending Aorta

Description

Human Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells (HASMCs), Descending Aorta are primary cells isolated from human descending aorta tissue and cryopreserved at low passage. Belonging to the smooth muscle cell type, these cells exhibit characteristic spindle-shaped morphology and grow as adherent monolayers. These cells play a crucial role in maintaining the aorta’s structure and function, regulating vascular tone for blood pressure control, and are central to understanding the role of smooth muscle in aortic diseases. Pathologically, these cells are implicated in cardiovascular diseases including atherosclerosis, aortic aneurysms, and hypertension. HASMCs express smooth muscle α-actin. Repeated freezing and thawing should be avoided during culture. The cells undergo rigorous screening and isolation procedures, and are rigorously tested to ensure they are free of contamination from HIV-1, HBV, HCV, Syphilis, Mycoplasma, Fungi, Yeast, and Bacteria.
