CD34+ myofibroblasts promote neointima formation in vein grafts by activating ferroptosis-induced smooth muscle cell phenotype switch

Abstract Aim Vein graft (VG) failure due to adverse remodeling and aggressive neointimal hyperplasia is a major complication and key limiting factor for maintaining long-term VG patency. CD34+ cells have been implicated in multiple cardiovascular diseases, but their functional in...
