Effects of macrophages on vascular smooth muscle cell survival in vitro
The synthesis of collagen by vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is a major determinant of structural stability of human atherosclerotic plaques. Ruptured human atherosclerotic plaques are characterised by a relatively low content of VSMCs, but a high inflammatory cell (macrophage and T lymphocyte)...
