PDGF-mediated autophagy regulates vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype and resistance to oxidative stress

Vascular injury and chronic arterial diseases result in exposure of VSMCs (vascular smooth muscle cells) to increased concentrations of growth factors. The mechanisms by which growth factors trigger VSMC phenotype transitions remain unclear. Because cellular reprogramming initiated by growth factors...
