Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play a central role in atherosclerosis by undergoing phenotypic modulation from a quiescent, contractile state to a range of synthetic phenotypes, including fibroblast-like, macrophage-like, and lipid-laden foam cell-like states. However, a comprehensive multimodal characterization and understanding of the transcriptional programs driving these transitions remain incomplete.
