## Abstract Although the pivotal role of platelet derived growth factor (PDGF)‐mediated signaling in vascular diseases was demonstrated, the pathophysiological mechanisms driving its over‐activation remain incompletely understood. Tissue transglutaminase (tTG) is a multifunctional protein expressed

## Abstract Although lipid‐lowering therapy with 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (statins) decreases the progression of coronary artery and aortic valve calcification, the mechanism of action of these drugs to inhibit the calcification process remains unclear. In this stu
## Abstract TGF‐β‐induced gene‐h3 (βig‐h3) is an adhesive molecule that interacts with integrins. Because TGF‐β plays an important role in diabetic complications and βig‐h3 serves as a cell substrate, we hypothesized that diabetic conditions might increase βig‐h3 synthesis in vascular smooth muscle
