Abstract excerpt
Phenotypic change of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is the main contributor of vascular pathological remodeling in atherosclerosis. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is critical for maintaining VSMC function through elimination of misfolded proteins that impair VSMC cellular function. ER-associated degradation (ERAD) is an ER-mediated process that controls protein quality by clearing misfolded proteins. One of...
