   Sammanfattning : Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are major constituents of the vascular wall, indispensable for basic physiological functions of a healthy vessel, such as regulating vascular tone and blood pressure, but also critical during disease development. With remarkable plasticity, SMCs act as early responders to vessel wall injury, where by activating molecular mechanisms, including phenotypic modulation and transdifferentiation, they counteract detrimental stimuli and aim to restore vascular homeostasis.
