Abstract excerpt
Smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation plays a key role in vascular proliferative disorders. The molecular mechanisms that control cell cycle entry of SMCs in response to vascular injury are not well understood. Id2 (inhibitor of DNA binding) is a member of the helix-loop-helix (HLH) family of transcription regulators that are known to promote cell cycle progression. Thus, we investigated the role of Id2 in SMC...
