Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease in which vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) undergo phenotypic switching. Inflammatory, macrophage-like VSMCs contribute to neointimal hyperplasia and plaque instability. Biodegradable magnesium (Mg)-based stents have favorable mechanical and biological properties, but their in-situ degradation releases magnesium ions (Mg2+) that may modulate the...
