Abstract excerpt

Vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells constitute the main structural components of tunica media. Under physiological conditions, these cells display a contractile phenotype and a low proliferative activity. However, they may also acquire a synthetic phenotype and become predominantly proliferative if stimulated under certain stress conditions. This capacity plays a major role in the inception and progression of such...
