Abstract excerpt
The mechanism that is responsible for progression of atherosclerosis seen with increasing age remains controversial. This issue was addressed in the present study, by searching for genes that are uniquely expressed in senescent endothelial cells and functionally involved in inflammatory leukocyte adhesion recognized as a critical step in the initiation of atherogenesis. Senescent human umbilical vein endothelial...
