The pathobiology of atherosclerotic disease requires further elucidation to discover new
approaches to address its high morbidity and mortality. To date, over 17 million …

Atherosclerosis is a pathologic process occurring within the artery, in which many cell types,
including T cell, macrophages, endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells, interact, and …

Atherosclerosis is a chronic progressive inflammatory process that can eventually lead to
cardiovascular disease (CVD). Despite available treatment, the prevalence of …

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC s) exhibit phenotypic and functional plasticity in order
to respond to vascular injury. In case of the vessel damage, VSMC s are able to switch from …

Vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) phenotypic modulation plays a key role in
atherosclerosis and is classically defined as a switch from a 'contractile'phenotype to a …

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are key participants in both early and late-stage
atherosclerosis. VSMCs invade the early atherosclerotic lesion from the media, expanding …

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are a major cell type present at all stages of an
atherosclerotic plaque. According to the 'response to injury'and 'vulnerable …

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are involved in phenotypic switching in
atherosclerosis. This switching is characterized by VSMC dedifferentiation, migration, and …

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) have long been associated with phenotypic
modulation/plasticity or dedifferentiation. Innovative technologies in cell lineage tracing …

After a period of relative senescence in the field of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC)
research with particular regards to atherosclerosis, the last few years has witnessed a …
