Smooth muscle–derived adventitial progenitor cells direct atherosclerotic plaque composition complexity in a Klf4-dependent manner
We previously established that vascular smooth muscle–derived adventitial progenitor cells (AdvSca1-SM) preferentially differentiate into myofibroblasts and contribute to fibrosis in response to acute vascular injury. However, the role of these progenitor cells in chronic atherosclerosis has not bee...
