BACKGROUND: Phenotypic switching of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is a hallmark of coronary artery disease (CAD). How type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a major risk factor for cardiovascular complications, reshapes these VSMCs states remains poorly defined. METHODS: Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), spatial transcriptomics, high-dimensional weighted gene coexpression network analysis (hdWGCNA), and...
