Gene expression profile analysis of aortic vascular smooth muscle cells reveals upregulation of cadherin genes in myocardial infarction patients

Physiol Genomics. 2018 May 18. doi: 10.1152/physiolgenomics.00042.2017 Derda AA, Woo CC, Wongsurawat T, Richards M, Lee CN, Kofidis T, Kuznetsov VA, Sorokin VA Abstract Myocardial infarction (MI) induced by acute coronary arterial occlusion is usually secondary to atherosclerotic plaque rupture.
