## Abstract The biological actions of LIGHT, a member of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily, are mediated by the interaction with lymphotoxin‐β receptor (LTβR) and/or herpes virus entry mediator (HVEM). Previous study demonstrated high‐level expressions of LIGHT and HVEM receptors in atheroscler

## Abstract Cyclic AMP (cAMP) is a pleiotropic second messenger that regulates numerous cellular processes. In vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), these include cell proliferation, migration, and contractility. Here we show that cAMP‐elevating agents induce dramatic morphological changes in VSMCs
## Abstract In China, the ginseng root began to be used in medicine over 2000 years ago. Ginsenosides are the most important component isolated from ginseng. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of ginsenoside Rg1 on the proliferation and molecular mechanism in cultured human arterial
## Abstract Platelet‐derived growth factor (PDGF) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of arterial atherosclerosis and venous neointimal hyperplasia. We examined the effects of PDGF isoforms on smooth muscle cells (SMCs) from arterial and venous origins in order to further understand the differe
## Abstract Heparin is a well established growth inhibitor of arterial smooth muscle cells (SMCs) both in animal models and in vitro. Even though the cellular mechanisms involved in the anti‐proliferative properties of heparin are being resolved, the structural requirements for the biological effec
