title: RTN3 and RTN4: Candidate modulators in vascular cell apoptosis and atherosclerosis.
abstract: The vascular cell apoptosis may play an important role in the development of atherosclerosis. Reticulons, the only molecular so far to participate in all three apoptosis signaling pathways, may be a novel player in the progress of AS. We presumes that reticulons may belong to the principle node of apoptosis pathway and be the candidate factor linking apoptosis and AS.
