PRDM16 controls smooth muscle cell fate in atherosclerosis
2025-02-23
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) normally exist in a contractile state but can undergo fate switching to produce various cell phenotypes in response to pathologic stimuli 1–3 . In atherosclerosis, these phenotypically modulated SMCs regulate plaque composition and influence the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events 4,5 . We found that PRDM16, a transcription factor that is genetically...
