Platelets and Smooth Muscle Cells Affecting the Differentiation of Monocytes
BACKGROUND: Atherosclerosis is characterised by the formation of plaques. Monocytes play a pivotal role in plaque development as they differentiate into foam cells, a component of the lipid core whilst smooth muscle cells (SMC) are the principal cell identified in the cap. Recently, the ability of m...
