Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) intimal migration, proliferation, and phenotypic transformation from a contractile to a synthetic state are hallmarks of the progression of atherosclerotic plaques. This study aims to explore the effects of exosomes derived from M2 macrophages (ExoM2) on the pathological changes of VSMCs in atherosclerosis (AS). METHODS: Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) and wound healing...
