Non-Canonical TERT Activity Initiates Osteogenesis in Calcific Aortic Valve Disease
21 Jan 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Calcific aortic valve disease is the pathological remodeling of valve leaflets. The initial steps in valve leaflet osteogenic reprogramming are not fully understood. As TERT (telomerase reverse transcriptase) overexpression primes mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate into osteoblasts, we investigated whether TERT contributes to the osteogenic reprogramming of valve interstitial cells. METHODS:...
