vascular smooth muscle cell(English)
- associated with phenotypic modulation/plasticity or dedifferentiation. An apparently small subset of contractile VSMCs undergoes a fate switch to transitional, multipotential cells that can adopt plaque-destabilizing (inflammation, ossification) or plaque-stabilizing (collagen matrix deposition) cell states. Also as vSMC
