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. J. Cell. Biochem. 111: 797–800, 2010. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
