Journal Article
Badran, A., Nasser, S. A., Mesmar, J., El-Yazbi, A. F., Bitto, A., Fardoun, M. M., …Eid, A. H. (2020). Reactive Oxygen Species: Modulators of Phenotypic Switch of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 21(22), 8764. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms21228764

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are natural byproducts of oxygen metabolism in the cell. At physiological levels, they play a vital role in cell signaling. However, high ROS levels cause oxidative stress, which is implicated in cardiovascular diseases...
