Platonin, a Cyanine Photosensitizing Dye, Ameliorates Inflammatory Responses in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells by Modulating Inflammatory Transcription Factors
Inflammation of the arterial wall is critical to atherosclerosis pathogenesis. The switch of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) to macrophage-like cells is essential in the exacerbation of vascular inflammation. Platonin, a cyanine photosensitizing dye, exhibits protective effects in sepsis, traum...
