Delineation of a thrombin receptor-stimulated vascular smooth muscle cell transition generating cells in the plaque-stabilising fibrous cap
2024-07-02
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Aims</h4> Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) accumulate in atherosclerotic plaques and exhibit remarkable phenotypic plasticity, contributing to both plaque growth and stability. The plaque-stabilising fibrous cap is rich in VSMC-derived cells, yet the cellular transitions and regulatory mechanisms governing fibrous cap formation remain unclear. We aimed to delineate the VSMC phenotypic transitions associat...
