Bavachin Protects Human Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells Against β-Glycerophosphate-Mediated Vascular Calcification and Apoptosis via Activation of mTOR-Dependent Autophagy and Suppression of β-Catenin Signaling

Vascular calcification is a major complication of cardiovascular disease and chronic renal failure. Autophagy help to maintain a stable internal and external environment that is important for modulating arteriosclerosis, but its pathogenic mechanism is far from clear. Here, we aimed to identify the...
