Novel Contributors and Mechanisms of Cellular Senescence in Hypertension-Associated Premature Vascular Aging

Abstract excerpt

Hypertension has been described as a condition of premature vascular aging, relative to actual chronological age. In fact, many factors that contribute to the deterioration of vascular function as we age are accelerated in hypertension. Nonetheless, the precise mechanisms that underlie the aged phenotype of arteries from hypertensive patients and animals remain elusive. Cellular senescence is an age-related...
