Abstract excerpt
AIM: Smooth muscle cell (SMC) phenotypic switching in the aortic media may play a critical role in the pathogenesis of thoracic aortic dissection (TAD). However, few investigations are available and most of the observations are based on histological examinations without in vitro evidence. This study, which was performed both in vivo and in vitro, was designed to investigate SMC phenotypic diversity between...
