Human Coronary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells

Description

Human Coronary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells (HCASMC) are primary vascular smooth muscle cells isolated from human coronary artery tissue. After isolation, the cells are cryopreserved at early passage to maintain high viability and phenotypic integrity. HCASMC display a spindle-shaped morphology and grow as an adherent monolayer. Primary human coronary vascular SMCs express characteristic markers such as α‑smooth muscle actin. These cells are widely used to model vascular function and pathology in research areas including atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, and angiogenesis. To ensure functional consistency, avoid repeated freeze‑thaw cycles during handling and 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.
