During atherosclerosis, local secretion of chemokines and growth factors following
endothelial injury, adhesion of platelets, and infiltration of inflammatory cells into the intima …

Objective—We sought to identify differentially expressed genes in human in stent stenosis
(ISS) to provide insights into the mechanism of disease. Methods and Results—Using …

The aim of this study was to determine whether similar populations of smooth muscle cells,
in relation to contractile and cytoskeletal proteins, are present in normal and diseased …

BACKGROUND: The application of single-cell transcriptomic (single-cell RNA sequencing)
analysis to the study of atherosclerosis has provided unique insights into the molecular and …

We designed an effective quadruple staining protocol that combines histochemistry (HC)
and double-labeling immunohistochemistry (IHC: IHC) to stain simultaneously several …

The intima of the adult human aorta consists of three sublayers: a muscular layer lying next
to the media, a median hyperplastic layer and an innermost connective tissue layer …

The ultrastructure and the expression of cytoskeletal and contractile proteins were studied in
the intimal cells of human coronary arteries (CA) taken at autopsy from 38 trauma victims …

The distribution of actin, vimentin, desmin, and tropomyosin was studied in the media of the
human aorta and femoral and coronary arteries, as well as in atheromatous plaques from …

Recently, there has been a dramatic change in the way we think about the role of vascular
smooth muscle cells in atherosclerosis, and it is now generally accepted that a dearth of …
