Novel mechanism and role of thrombospondin-1 in extracellular matrix organisation
Thrombospondins (TSPs) are conserved, multi-domain, extracellular glycoproteins that participate in many biological processes. TSP-1 is present in low levels in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of healthy vessel walls and is up-regulated during neointima and plaque formation. TSP-1 induces vascular sm...
