Atherosclerosis is a smooth muscle cell-driven tumor-like disease

2023-03-07

Abstract excerpt

Atherosclerosis, the leading cause of cardiovascular disease, is a chronic inflammatory disease involving pathological activation of multiple cell types, such as immunocytes (e.g., macrophage, T cells), smooth muscle cells (SMCs), and endothelial cells. Multiple lines of evidence have suggested that SMC “phenotypic switching” plays a central role in atherosclerosis development and complications. Yet, SMC roles and...
