Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Lower limb venous varicosities (VVs) are clinically common; however, their molecular underpinnings are far from well elucidated. Previous studies have demonstrated that the phenotypic transition of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) plays a critical role in VV pathogenesis and that c-fos is upregulated in VSMCs from VVs. The present study investigated the histologic and cytologic changes in VVs and...
