Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) play significant roles in atherosclerosis via phenotypic switching, a pathological process in which SMC dedifferentiation, migration, and transdifferentiation into other cell types. Yet how SMCs contribute to the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis remains elusive. METHODS: To reveal the trajectories of SMC transdifferentiation during atherosclerosis and to identify molecular...
