Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The phenotype alteration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is critical for vascular physiology and pathology. Transcription factors (TFs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play pivotal roles in the gene regulatory network underlying various biological processes, including the pathogenesis of vascular diseases. Despite the established role of Myocardin (MYOCD) as a master TF in VSMC biology, the...
