The calcium binding protein S100β marks hedgehog-responsive resident vascular stem cells within vascular lesions
Abstract A hallmark of subclinical atherosclerosis is the accumulation of vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC)-like cells leading to intimal thickening. While medial SMCs contribute, the participation of hedgehog-responsive resident vascular stem cells (vSCs) to lesion formation remains unclear. Using...
