## Abstract **Background:** Neointima formation is a characteristic feature of atherosclerosis and post‐angioplasty restenosis, in which various soluble factors and mechanical injury stimulate signalling pathways in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), promoting their migration and proliferation, a

## Abstract IL‐1β is an important mediator in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes both in vivo and in vitro and it has been shown to induce islet β‐cell apoptosis. Most of the IL‐1β effects seem to be mediated by NF‐κB transcription factor activation, but its role in the induction of islet β‐cell a
