Mapping atherogenesis mechanisms in smooth muscle cells by targeting genes linked to coronary artery disease
2024-11-12
Abstract excerpt
Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified multiple vascular cell-expressed genes linked to coronary artery disease (CAD), suggesting that smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and SMC-derived metaplastic cells are promising targets for novel antiatherosclerosis therapies. However, the disease-promoting pathways of most GWAS-identified genes are unknown, hindering their translation into therapeutic targets...
