Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS), caused by mutations in the TGF-β (transforming growth factor-β) signaling cascade, leads to aggressive thoracic aneurysms. While vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) phenotype modulation has been implicated in thoracic aneurysm formation, we sought to characterize the role of cell state transitions in LDS aneurysm pathogenesis. METHODS: We performed single-cell transcriptomic...
