Abstract excerpt
Moyamoya disease (MMD) is characterized by frequent migration and phenotypic transformation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in the intima layer of blood vessels. However, the underlying mechanism is unclear. Toll-like receptor (TLR) 7 is abundantly expressed in smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in multiple vascular diseases, which might be linked to the disease-associated vascular remodeling. In the present...
