Thymosin β4 mediates vascular protection via regulation of Low Density Lipoprotein Related Protein 1 (LRP1)
Vascular stability and tone are maintained by contractile smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). However, injury-induced growth factors stimulate a contractile-synthetic phenotypic switch which promotes atherosclerosis and susceptibility to abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). As a regulator of embryonic VSMC dif...
