How vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype switching contributes to vascular disease

Cell Communication and Signaling, 2022
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are the most abundant cell in vessels. Earlier experiments have found that VSMCs possess high plasticity. Vascular injury stimulates VSMCs to switch into a dedifferentiated type, also known as synthetic VSMCs, with a ...
