Abstract excerpt
The proliferation, migration, and cellular morphology of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play important roles in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis (AS). Homocysteine (Hcy) is a sulfur-containing amino acid, which is an intermediate product of methionine metabolism. Hcy can induce proliferation, migration, and phenotypic switch of VSMCs, but details of these mechanisms are still unclear. The...
