Materials. Smooth muscle cell growth and basal medium were purchased from cell applications, inc. (San diego, ca). Trypsin and trypsin neutralizing solution were purchased from cell applications inc. (San diego, ca). 17-aaG and 17-dMaG were purchased from Tocris Bioscience (Bristol, uK). Fibronectin and PdGF were purchased from r&d Systems (Minneapolis, Mn).
Cell culture. Human aortic VSMcs (cell applications, inc., San diego, ca, uSa) were used in early passage (P3-P5). cells were made quiescent by incubation in serum free media (SFM) for 48 h at 37˚c in a tissue culture incubator (5% co 2 ).
Cell viability. cell viability was determined with the Trypan Blue exclusion assay (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) using the Countess Cell counter (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, Ma) according to the manufacturer's instructions. all experiments were performed in triplicate studying 17-aaG or 17-dMaG at three different concentrations (100 nM, 10 or 30 µM). The doses chosen have been previously shown to be effective (13) .

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
