Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells: A Therapeutic Target in Atherosclerosis

Background: Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are involved in atherosclerotic plaque development. The formation of VSMC-originated foam cells, phenotypic switching, and VSMC proliferation, migration, apoptosis, and autophagy play different roles in atherosclerosis (AS)....
