Abstract excerpt
Thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) is a highly dangerous cardiovascular disorder caused by weakening of the aortic wall, resulting in a sudden tear of the internal face. Progressive loss of the contractile apparatus in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is a major event in TAD. Exploring the endogenous regulators essential for the contractile phenotype of VSMCs may aid the development of strategies to prevent...
