Redistribution of the chromatin remodeler Brg1 directs smooth muscle–derived adventitial progenitor–to–myofibroblast differentiation and vascular fibrosis
28 Mar 2023
Abstract excerpt
Vascular smooth muscle-derived Sca1+ adventitial progenitor (AdvSca1-SM) cells are tissue-resident, multipotent stem cells that contribute to progression of vascular remodeling and fibrosis. Upon acute vascular injury, AdvSca1-SM cells differentiate into myofibroblasts and are embedded in perivascular collagen and the extracellular matrix. While the phenotypic properties of AdvSca1-SM-derived myofibroblasts have...
