Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The ZC3HC1 (zinc finger C3HC-type containing 1) gene has been linked to various cardiovascular traits, including coronary artery disease, blood pressure, and carotid intima-media thickness with opposing effects. This study aimed to investigate the role of ZC3HC1 in smooth muscle cell (SMC) biology and its contribution to neointima formation. METHODS: SMC phenotypes (proliferation and migration) were...
