Description: Proceedings of the Sixth Annual Graduate Hospital Research Symposium held September 1990, in Philadelphia. What turns on a smooth muscle cell is the puzzle addressed in 25 papers and 21 poster presentations discussing contractile protein, permeabilized fiber, and intact fiber studies; excitation-contraction coupling; and adaptation. The conference came at a time when the field is alive with new information and old dogmas are giving way to fresh interpretations.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
