In the panvascular system, hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) can lead to excessive activity of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), presenting a phenotype of proliferation and migration in ...
In atherosclerosis, the vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) contributes to vessel wall inflammation and lipoprotein retention, as well as to the formation of the fibrous cap that provides stability ...
A recent study investigates the role of the deubiquitinase OTUB1 in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) within the context of atherosclerosis, a disease characterized by lipid accumulation and ...
