Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells in Atherosclerosis.

Circulation research - 19 Feb 2016

Bennett Martin R, Sinha Sanjay, Owens Gary K

Abstract excerpt

The historical view of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in atherosclerosis is that aberrant proliferation of VSMCs promotes plaque formation, but that VSMCs in advanced plaques are entirely beneficial, for example preventing rupture of the fibrous cap. However, this view has been based on ideas that there is a homogenous population of VSMCs within the plaque, that can be identified separate from other plaque...
