血管平滑肌細胞是許多動脈疾病的主要靶細胞。血管平滑肌細胞的加速生長潛能是血管疾病進展的關鍵因素。*新研究表明血管平滑肌細胞表達的血管內皮細胞表達細胞粘附因子ICAM-1 和 VCAM-1，研究表明這些因子能促進血管內皮細胞增殖，分化和血管壁的炎癥反應，并且與血管疾病的進展及穩定有關。人血管平滑肌細胞的體外培養是血管研究中的重要模型，并將對血管疾病的藥理學和治療研究提供大量信息。
ScienCell實驗室的HBVSMC分離自人大腦組織，原代凍存，冰凍運輸。每管細胞密度超過5×105/ml。細胞經α-smooth muscle actin和desmin免疫熒光鑒定。本細胞經檢測不含HIV-1、HBV、HCV、支原體、細菌、酵母菌和真菌。如采用ScienCell 實驗室特制的培養基，可保證此細胞達到15次或以上的倍增。
