Abstract

Cell Adhesion in Vascular BiologyLesions of atherosclerosis are only found in the intima, and the smooth muscle cells (SMC) 1 comprising these lesions are clonal.These two simple facts imply that formation of the intima, presumably by migration of cells from the media, is a key event in the early stages of atherosclerosis.There is also a lot of interest (1), although less data, in the possibility that smooth muscle migration and proliferation are critical in later stages of the disease and, particularly, in restenosis after angioplasty.This review will discuss possible critical roles for migration in the origin and progression of atherosclerotic lesions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
