Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the accumulation of
lipids in the vessel wall, leading to the formation of an atheroma and eventually to the …

Vascular calcification (VC) is highly correlated with cardiovascular disease morbidity and
mortality, but anti-VC treatment remains an area to be tackled due to the ill-defined …

Background Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is the leading cause of
morbidity and mortality, being twofold to fourfold more common in patients with type 2 …

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are key participants in both early-and late-stage
