Human primary plaque cell cultures to study mechanisms of atherosclerosis
2023-02-13
Abstract excerpt
Plaque smooth muscle cells are critical players in the initiation and advancement of atherosclerotic disease. They produce extracellular matrix (ECM) components, which play a role in lesion progression and stabilization. Despite clear phenotypic differences between plaque smooth muscle cells and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), VSMCs are still widely used as a model system in atherosclerotic research. Here we...
