P11 The Role of Smooth Muscle Integrin Alpha V and TGF-Beta Pathways in Vascular Fibrosis
It has been demonstrated that arterial stiffness is linked to arterial fibrosis manifested by increased collagen and other extracellular matrix synthesis in smooth muscle cells (SMC). Transmembrane receptors integrins mediating cell-cell and cell-matrix signalling pathways are involved in tissue fib...
