Vascular smooth muscle cells play important roles in the physiological function of blood vessels, and also in their remodeling under pathological conditions. One of the most important conclusions of this review is that besides endothelial cells, used earlier for lining the luminal surface of synthetic vascular grafts, VSMCs should become an essential part of bioartificial vascular replacement
