Proliferative Pathways of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells in Response to Intermittent Hypoxia

Proliferative Pathways of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells in Response to Intermittent Hypoxia

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by intermittent hypoxia (IH) and is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (e.g., atherosclerosis) and chronic inflammatory diseases (CID). The excessive proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) plays a pivotal role in the progression of...
