Vascular cartilaginous metaplasia and calcification are common in patients with atherosclerosis. However, sources of cells contributing to the development of this complication are currently unknown. In this study, we ascertained the origin of cells that give rise to cartilaginous and bony elements in atherosclerotic vessels.
