Injury to the tunica media initiates atherogenesis in the presence of hyperlipidemia
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023 Background and aimsFatty streaks initiating the formation of atheromatous plaque appear in the tunica intima. The tunica media is not known to be a nidus for lipid accumulation initiating atherogenesis. We assessed changes to the tunica media in response
