LDLs induce fibroblast spreading independently of the LDL receptor via activation of the p38 MAPK pathway

Because adventitial fibroblasts play an important role in the repair of blood vessels, we assessed whether elevation in LDL concentrations would affect fibroblast function and whether this depended on activation of intracellular signaling pathways. We show here that in primary human fibroblasts, LDL...
