Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Vascular smooth muscle cells are pivotal in atherosclerosis, transitioning from a contractile to a synthetic phenotype, which is associated with increased proliferation and inflammation. FRZB, a Wnt signaling modulator, has been implicated in vascular pathology, but its specific role in vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype modulation is not well understood. This study investigates the role...
