Abstract excerpt
The transcription factor p53 is essentially involved in regulation of cell death and proliferation. Recently, we have established a mouse model for vein graft arteriosclerosis by grafting autologous jugular veins or vena cava to carotid arteries. Using this model, we studied the role of p53 in the development of vein graft arteriosclerosis in p53(-/-) mice. Four weeks after grafting, neointimal hyperplasia of...
