Abstract
The data presented in this study emphasizes the importance of SMCs in TAA development. Furthermore, our results provide evidence that the state of SMCs in the BAV-TAA (senescent) and TAV-TAA (pro-proliferative) differs significantly. For the first time, we also present findings that may argue for the occurrence of a viral infection in BAV-TAA SMCs.
