LARP6 Promotes Features of Plaque Stability and Smooth Muscle Cell Survival in Atherosclerosis
2025-12-25
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Introduction</h4> Acute plaque rupture or erosion followed by luminal thrombosis is a major cause of myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death. Vulnerable plaques are characterized by a thin fibrous cap and reduced numbers of smooth muscle cells (SMCs).
