Abstract excerpt
Vascular remodeling is a characteristic pathological feature of various vascular diseases, including atherosclerosis, restenosis following vascular injury, hypertension, and aneurysms. The phenotypic switching of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) acts as a key driver of vascular remodeling. Under specific pathological stimuli, VSMCs rapidly transition from a contractile to a dedifferentiated phenotype,...
