Activin receptor-like kinase 7 promotes apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells via activating Smad2/3 signaling in diabetic atherosclerosis

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is a vital accelerator in the late phase of diabetic atherosclerosis, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. The aim of our study was to investigate whether activin receptor-like kinase 7 (ALK7)-Smad2/3 pathway plays an important role in VSMC apoptosis of...
