    Abstract:

    In the process of atherosclerosis, media vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype transform, migrate and proliferate, enter the vascular intima, and participate in the formation of fibrous caps and neovascularization of atherosclerotic plaques. In this review, the current research progress on the role of vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype transformation to atherosclerosis is reviewed.
