Progresses of TGF-β-Smad signaling pathways and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in stented blood vessel stenosis / 中国介入影像与治疗学

ABSTRACT

There is a high risk of re-stenosis after implanting blood vessels stent,the processes involves the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)-Smad signaling pathways,epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and so on.The function of TGF-β-Smad signal pathways and EMT in vascular stent re-stenosis and the relevant mechanism were reviewed in this paper.
