Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are the most abundant cell in vessels. Earlier
experiments have found that VSMCs possess high plasticity. Vascular injury stimulates …

Arteriogenesis is one of the primary physiological means by which the circulatory collateral
system restores blood flow after significant arterial occlusion in peripheral arterial disease …

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are the major cell type in blood vessels. Unlike
many other mature cell types in the adult body, VSMC do not terminally differentiate but …

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), the major cell type in the arterial vessel wall, have a
contractile phenotype that maintains the normal vessel structure and function under …

Objective The phenotypic plasticity of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is central to
vessel growth and remodeling, but also contributes to cardiovascular pathologies. New …

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are involved in phenotypic switching in
atherosclerosis. This switching is characterized by VSMC dedifferentiation, migration, and …

In contrast with the heart, the adult mammalian vasculature retains significant remodelling
capacity, dysregulation of which is implicated in disease development. In particular, vascular …

The fully differentiated medial vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) of mature vessels
keep quiescent and contractile. However, VSMC can exhibit the plasticity in phenotype …

Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) differentiation is an essential component of vascular
development. These cells perform biosynthetic, proliferative, and contractile roles in the …

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) have long been associated with phenotypic
modulation/plasticity or dedifferentiation. Innovative technologies in cell lineage tracing …
