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 …

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

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 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 …

Normally, smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are localized in the tunica media of the vasculature,
where they take responsibility for vascular contraction and extracellular matrix (ECM) …

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

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 …

Background: Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) play significant roles in atherosclerosis via
phenotypic switching, a pathological process in which SMC dedifferentiation, migration, and …

As the primary causes of myocardial infarction, stroke, atherosclerosis, in-stent restenosis,
and aneurysm, aortic diseases pose a serious threat to human health. Arterial remodeling is …
