Vascular smooth muscle remodeling in health and disease.

Canadian journal of physiology and pharmacology - 1 Feb 2021

Abstract excerpt

In blood vessels, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) generally exist in two major phenotypes: contractile and non-contractile (synthetic). The contractile phenotype is predominant and includes quiescent or differentiated VSMCs, which function as the regulators of blood vessel diameter and blood flow. According to some literature in the field, contractile VSMCs do not switch to the non-contractile phenotype due...
