Abstract
En 中文
• Vascular injury induces a CD34+ transient progenitor state in SMCs, defined as STPCs • STPCs are highly proliferative and constitute the major source of neointimal SMCs • Genetic ablation of STPCs attenuates neointimal hyperplasia • Doublecortin-like kinase 1 (DCLK1) is an important regulator of STPC generation
