Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) undergo phenotypic switching during sustained inflammation, contributing to an unfavourable atherosclerotic plaque phenotype. PPARδ plays an important role in regulating SMC functions; however, its role in atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability remains unclear. Here, we explored the pathological roles of PPARδ in atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability in...
