Abstract excerpt
The development of numerous types of cardiovascular disease is associated with alteration of the vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) phenotype. We have previously shown that abdominal aortic aneurysm progression in a mouse model of the disease is associated with reduced differentiation of SMCs within the lesion and that cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is critical to initiation and progression of the aneurysms. The current...
