Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT: Cardiovascular diseases are life-threatening conditions with multifactorial causes. As the most abundant cells in the vascular wall, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play a crucial role in regulating vascular tone. Under physiologic conditions, VSMCs predominantly demonstrate a contractile phenotype. However, this phenotype can be altered in response to microenvironmental stimuli, particularly...
