Smooth muscle apoptosis and vascular remodeling
7 Apr 2008
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The present review is to summarize recent advances in molecular mechanisms that regulate vascular smooth muscle cell apoptosis during vascular remodeling. In normal blood vessels apoptosis counteracts cell division, whereas apoptosis is especially crucial for regulating vascular remodeling during cardiovascular diseases. RECENT FINDINGS: Recent results have expanded our knowledge regarding the...
