Human airway smooth muscle maintain in situ cell orientation and phenotype when cultured on aligned electrospun scaffolds

Human airway smooth muscle (HASM) contraction plays a central role in regulating airway resistance in both healthy and asthmatic bronchioles. In vitro studies that investigate the intricate mechanisms that regulate this contractile process are predominantly conducted on tissue culture plastic, a rig...
