Changing topographic Hox expression in blood vessels results in regionally distinct vessel wall remodeling

Changing topographic Hox expression in blood vessels results in regionally distinct vessel wall remodeling

Summary The distinct topographic Hox expression patterns observed in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) of the adult cardiovascular system suggest that these transcriptional regulators are critical for maintaining region-specific physiological properties of blood vessels. To test this proposition,...
