Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT: Atherosclerosis (AS) is one of the most severe cardiovascular diseases involved in the phenotypic switching of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Tryptanthrin is a natural product with broad biological activities. However, the effect of tryptanthrin on atherosclerotic progression is unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the role of tryptanthrin in AS and explore the potential mechanism. In...
