Vasc Endovascular Surg . 2024 Sep; 59(1):39-46. PMID: 39235354
Introduction: Vascular smooth muscle cells are important in intimal hyperplasia. Thrombospondin-1 is a matricellular protein involved in the vascular injury response. Statins are cholesterol lowering drugs that have beneficial cardiovascular...

Muqri F, Helkin A, Maier K, Gahtan V
J Cell Biochem . 2020 Apr; 121(10):4154-4165. PMID: 32348623
The thrombospondins (TSPs), multifunctional matricellular proteins, are known mediators of endothelial cell (EC) angiogenesis and apoptosis. TSP-1, an antiangiogenic molecule, is important in the progression of vascular disease, in part...

Vasc Endovascular Surg . 2019 Apr; 53(5):379-386. PMID: 30982448
Introduction: Oral statins reduce intimal hyperplasia (IH) after arterial injury by only ∼25%. Alternative drug delivery systems have gained attention as carriers for hydrophobic drugs. We studied the effects of...
