Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Age-associated cellular senescence is thought to promote vascular dysfunction. p16(INK4a) is a cell cycle inhibitor that promotes senescence and is upregulated during normal aging. In this study, we examine the contribution of p16(INK4a) overexpression to venous thrombosis. METHODS AND RESULTS: Mice overexpressing p16(INK4a) were studied with 4 different vascular injury models: (1) ferric chloride...
