Abstract excerpt
Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are called on to proliferate during vascular repair but must return to a nonproliferative state if remodeling is to terminate appropriately. One gene that has recently been implicated in the acquisition of SMC replicative quiescence is Wilms' tumor 1-associating protein (WTAP). Wilms' tumor 1-associating protein is a nuclear constituent of uncertain function that, as the name implies,...
