Abstract excerpt
Early vascular lesions are closely associated with the phenotypic switching of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Transient receptor potential vanilloid family member 4 (TRPV4) calcium channels are crucial for regulating vascular function. However, whether they contribute to the phenotypic switching of VSMCs remains unknown. Therefore, this study used a smooth muscle-specific TRPV4 knockout mouse model...
