The vascular system forms as a branching network of endothelial cells that acquire identity
as arterial, venous, hemogenic, or lymphatic. Endothelial specification depends on gene …

MYB is a transcription factor which was identified in birds as a viral oncogene (v-MYB). Its
cellular counterpart was subsequently isolated as c-MYB which has three functional …

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are the predominant cell type in the medial layer of
the aorta, which plays a critical role in the maintenance of aortic wall integrity. VSMCs have …

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) have emerged as pivotal contributors throughout all
phases of atherosclerotic plaque development, effectively dispelling prior underestimations …

Objective—Recently, we have demonstrated that acute glucosamine-induced augmentation
