Fibromodulin and Dystrophin in Atherosclerosis: Novel roles for extracellular matrix in plaque development
… cause is atherosclerosis, and in atherosclerotic plaque progression the structure, composition and integrity of a dynamic extracellular matrix (ECM) is one very important factor. This thesis discusses the importance of the connection between the ECM and cells for atherosclerotic lesion …
