The main task of these cells is to provide vascular tone by vasoconstriction and vasodilation. The culturing of these cells is important to study smooth muscle cell function and various cardiovascular diseases at cellular levels. The aim of this article was to review current general information on isolation and culture of vascular smooth muscle cells.}, number={3}, publisher={Cukurova University}
