Biomarkers in VSMC phenotypic modulation and vascular remodeling.

Abstract excerpt

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are not terminally differentiated and can change their phenotype in response to environmental cues. Phenotype switching of VSMCs to less differentiated forms has led to an underestimation of their role in the development of vascular remodeling and many vascular diseases in both humans and animal models of this disease. In recent studies, many factors, such as microRNAs, matrix...
