Blood flow interplays with elastin: collagen and MMP: TIMP ratios to maintain healthy vascular structure and function
Differential vascular remodeling is one of the major mechanisms of heterogeneity in atherosclerosis. The structural and functional heterogeneity between arteries and veins determines the degree of vascular remodeling. Matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) play key roles...
