Calcium‐Binding Protein S100A4 Is Upregulated in Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaques and Contributes to Expansive Remodeling

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Carotid plaques with expansive arterial remodeling are closely related to cerebral ischemic events. Although S100A4 (S100 calcium‐binding protein A4) is expressed in atherosclerotic lesions, its role in atherosclerotic plaque progression ...
