Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Proliferation of arterial smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and their modulation to alternative mesenchymal phenotypes is central to atherosclerotic lesion growth. It has been studied extensively in mouse models, but a detailed analysis of when and where different mesenchymal cell types accumulate in human atherosclerosis is lacking. This study mapped mesenchymal cell populations during the progression of human...
