Cadmium Sulphate Induces Pro-Atherogenic Phenotypic Switching in Human Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells

2026-03-13

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background & Objectives: Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) maintain vascular integrity but can transition from a quiescent, contractile phenotype to a synthetic, migratory, and proliferative state, a critical driver of atherosclerosis. Cadmium, a persistent and bioaccumulative environmental toxicant, common in cigarette smoke and industrial emissions, has been epidemiologically assoc...
