22 Jan 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Vascular calcification is a detrimental aging pathology markedly accelerated in patients with chronic kidney disease. PLA (prelamin A) is a biomarker of vascular smooth muscle cell aging that accelerates calcification however the mechanisms remain undefined. METHODS: Vascular smooth muscle cells were transduced with PLA using an adenoviral vector and epigenetic modifications were monitored using...
