Identifying and targeting the molecular signature of smooth muscle cells undergoing early vascular ageing
31 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
Early vascular ageing (EVA) is a pathological phenomenon whereby the vascular system ages more quickly than chronological age. This underpins many cardiovascular diseases including the complications of type 2 diabetes, aneurysm formation and hypertension. Smooth muscle cells (SMC) are the principal cell type in the vascular wall and maintain vascular tone. EVA-related phenotypic switching of these cells...
